I had an issue with the software which was escalated two levels, and then I got no help whatsoever. This was definitely a glitch in the software, and I know that because I have been using HR block Software for my taxes for the past 12 years. I had to figure out a way to punt and get around this glitch on my own in order to be able to file electronically. Very disappointed in the help I received, or should I say the help I never received.
Cons: Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I started using H&R Block in 2015 when it was called TaxCut. It worked really well, and you could bundle the state version for those of us that pay state income tax. However, something happened and I pay for the Deluxe and State version but it still prompts me to purchase state once I complete the Federal. Even if I buy it again (which Ive done 2 years now '23 and '24) it still does not install and places the user in an infinite loop of "purchase state" requests. I was able to get a refund on the second purchase of state that didnt work, but that takes an interaction with support and time that you typically dont have when doing taxes. My state offers a free service for the state 1040, this is my last year buying anything other than the Federal. Federal did seem to work fine...so far.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Time consuming

The state does not work. The software won’t let me buy a state program or efile. Very annoying

I paid for this software, even though I really didn't need it, because of the free e-file. I was unable to e-file for some unknown reason, so I lost the only real benefit of the software.

The fed plus state was ok. Pretty self explanatory. I think it is over priced. And then charging on top of one state for efile. Meh.
