As far as the software I have no issues whatsoever. What I have an issue with is the IRS tells you if you e-file and request a direct deposit you generally get your refund in your account within 21 days. I have been religiously for over 2 weeks and still no refund. The government just love to hold on to your money
I would recommend this to a friend!

Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast

Not well organized on going from one area to specific phases of the forms. The tax on Required Minimum Withdrawal on annuity was not explained & option to have IRS forgive the tax was with out any support as the approaches impact on IRS filing. The timing for paper filing and late fees had no information.’
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I was very frustrated with the 2025 version of your software. After using H&R Block software for about 10 years, the new version would not load on my old Windows 8 computer. I bought a Chromebook and it would not load on that, so I bought a Windows 11 computer and it would not load on that one until I disabled the "Safe mode". So next year I probably won't be using your software.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Hard to prepare

The software is easy to use, however, it is missing form 7203. Even worse, on my Schedule F, every year I have to select the proper depreciation schedule for all of my capital equipment because it does not import this information from the prior year's return. HR Block makes it extremely difficult to provide feedback for software improvements. I hope someone reads this review and resolves these issues!

I have used H&R Block for over 20 years. I am 81 ears old and appreciate the ease of inputing the information but not the TERRIBLE way you have to record the Oil and Mineral rights. It is VERY confusing. You have to do two different things and it's difficult to remember exactly how to do it each year. If you put it in the wrong place it comes up twice and then you have to redo it, etc., etc., etc. There has to be an easier way.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents
