I have used H&R Block for many years. This year my return has been rejected by IRS, apparently due to a software error in Form 1116. This error was to be corrected by 3/13 but this has not occurred and I am currently unable to file my return. I have attempted to manually correct the values in Form 1116 but the program does not allow this. I will wait for the next general update scheduled on 3/20. There is no way to get appropriate help with this problem and I am becoming frustrated. I'm not sure that I will use this software in the future.
Pros: Easy to import documents

Have used H&R Block Deluxe software for several years. It is very easy to navigate and basically just follow the questions, read the details and anyone can figure their own taxes for a simple tax return.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

We are so happy to hear about your great experiences! We appreciate your time & business, and thank you for taking time out of your day to provide us with valuable feedback! We look forward to seeing you again next tax season!
I have used this same software for years. My return is not real complicated but the IRS forms and schedules are, so having a program that just asks questions and puts the $$$ where it needs to go is great.
Pros: Easy to prepare
I would recommend this to a friend!

We’re so happy to hear you had a good experience. We appreciate your business and thank you for the valuable feedback!
Each security transaction should include a field in which I can enter adjustment to purchase price that reflects recapture of amount disallowed for wash sale. Your instructions tell me that I can do this, but don't explain how. So I just replace the cost that you took from the 1099 with the adjusted cost. Also, there should be field(s) to enter social security paid by countries having tax treaties with USA, since the USA treats it like USA Social Security.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Turns out the State of Oregon refund was greater according to the state. Apparently your program determined the incorrect “ kicker” amount, . Not good!
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund
