Program does not carry some information from previous years. I have put a lot 1099 information, that is the same year. I also had to fill name and addresses of financial services that are in there every year.
Cons: Time consuming

I have been using this software for as long as I can remember, and I have always been satisfied with the results. The Federal Income Tax calculation was very straightforward and easy to understand. I would give that software a 5-star rating. The reason for the overall reduction was one part of the Wisconsin state software. I found the section on the Retirement Income Subtraction to be confusing. We are told to make a choice about using this subtraction without an adequate understanding of when it should be elected. Instead of asking about the election at the beginning of the section, the software should have taken us through the possible subtractions to see if it should be elected. If use of the subtraction is warranted, the user should be told that the option should be elected. My confusion caused me to not take the subtraction, and at no time was I told that I had made a mistake. The Help in the software for using the Retirement Income Subtraction was almost non-existent and led me to file my return with a much higher taxable income. I was bothered by this outcome and subsequently did a significant amount of research on this topic outside of the H&R Block software. I discovered that I was definitely entitled to the subtraction and filed an amended return. The difference in my taxable income produced a tax savings of more than $2,000. After going through this aggravation, it is clear to me that better programming of this section of the return would have easily prevented my mistake.
Pros: Maximizes refund
Cons: Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents

Worksheet 3.3 was not viewable in the Michigan Income Tax software. It was obviously used to calculate the amount on line 19 on 2025 Form 4884, but was not in the list of forms. This, and other similar worksheets to show how the amounts on lines 17 through 19 on 2025 Form 4884 were determined, need to be viewable. I had to go to the Michigan Income Tax website to view the instructions and the worksheets to run through the calculation myself in order to confirm that it was okay. Please add these worksheets to the Michigan State Forms section.
Cons: Time consuming

not great for amending returns
on April 10, 2026

bought to file amended return. Not very robust and incredibly confusing. Ended up bailing on software and doing it manually.

It wasn't as easy to use as Turbo tax. The software couldn't upload to my bank. Chase, one of the biggest banks, was not an option to import my data. I had to do it manually.
Cons: Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents
