Every year it’s been an hours long struggle to get expert human assistance from Block. I get shipped from department to department when I need clarification re: how to answer prompts in the software. Finally, this year I resorted to speaking with someone at the IRS for help with a concern. I wish Block would be more user friendly and make it easier to get expert human help.
Pros: Fast

I have been using your software for at least 15 years and have found it to be easy to use and informative. This year I ran into a problem doing my son’s return regarding the filing of a Form 1099, Cancellation of Debt, by a creditor where the creditor had abandoned further efforts to collect on the debt. My son had genuinely contested the debt at all times prior to the creditor’s filing and had supporting documents to prove it. The software did not allow me to note this on Schedule 1, Line 24z, and offered no help through AI, chat help, or other resource any advice that would enable me to do so. As a result, I had to go to the IRS site and complete, with the appropriate modifications, Form 1040 and Schedule 1. I recommend that, despite the rareness of this occurrence, that you modify your program to provide advice in this circumstance and allow the user to make entries appropriately addressing it. Thank you.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that you had a positive experience overall. While we aim for 5-star satisfaction, we understand that there may be areas where we can improve. We appreciate your business and value your input.
I have used this software for several years now and it just keeps getting worse. They have made it harder to understand and they keep trying to sell you stuff. If I wanted the state software, I would have bought it. If I needed a tax advisor, i would have hired one. It gets old.
Cons: Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I entered I'd of person (self,spouse)for every 1099. Then when I got to state (GA) I had to split income between self & spouse. Your program should have brought this forward from federal
