Several things didn't work in the software this year. Imported my W2, preview looked good, form ended up blank; had to enter by hand. Got errors in the audit because it didn't carry over my address or my wife's SS# in spots. It left line 11 (itemized deduction total) blank and asked me to put in a number (even though I went through all the itemized questions). Been using HR Block for years. Never had this many issues. Frustrating enough that I'll pay the extra for TurboTax next year.
Cons: Hard to import documents

I have been using H&R Block for a number of years and have always been impressed with the ease of importing previous years records but mostly that the software completes all the necessary forms without my having to search for and fill them out myself.

Praise from a 25-year-user Professional Programmer

Verified Purchase:Yes
I am a software developer. I have been using this product every year for 25 years. For a lot of software products and websites, as a professional software developer, I am quickly super-critical about the frustration I have with sloppy, non-intuitive, error-prone applications. However, with this software, I have long been impressed that it is intuitive, the Help actually helps, the GoTo takes you where you need to go, and I have NEVER encountered even ONE run-time error. My children know that when I praise things, it is really because I think they are worthy of praise. They understand that just-good-enough is not good enough to warrant praise.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents
I would recommend this to a friend!

This year, the HRB tax program did not request one's IRA account balance as of the last day of the year. They have in past tax years. The govt website lays out why they need this data. I'm anticipating this will become an issue that HRB clients are going to have to resolve with IRS after Apr 15th. Not what helpful.

I've been using this tax program for years. It's more difficult to follow and know what to do this year. I'm going to look into the other tax program for my 2025 tax prep next year.
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The purchasing of an additional state software was not good. Received error several times during the (unsuccessful) download process but the program charged the credit card three times. It was a difficult and very time-consuming process to request a credit for the incorrect charges. The customer tracking methodology is awful; it references an email but doesn't know which one (purchaser, preparer, or tax return).
