I have used H&R Block Deluxe software for my tax preparation for several years. The only problem I have had was recording my oil and gas royalties; it has always been a little confusing for me. However, the confusion might have only affected me. Regardless, I think the H&R Block Deluxe software has always been a good tax preparation package for me.
I’ve used H&R Block for years ( and Taxcut before that). This year I was not able to file federal or either state using electronic filing! One state requires paper filing, but the program didn’t warn me about all the fields that had to be filled in manually. Then our federal return was rejected along with our second state return, but H&R Block’s system was overwhelmed and would not accept e-filing at all on April 15. So basically I paid for efiling for nothing! I had to print out and sign all three returns and then drive to the post office and wait in line. I want a full refund
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

HR software has never let me down until this year. I was unable to e file the evening of April 14 into the 15th. I finally printed and mailed. I received email confirmation that my tax return had been accepted by the IRS, BUT the software never showed the return had been sent.
Pros: Easy to import documents

I tried to efile my return on April 14, 2023 and had a really bad experience. I tried to efile it approximately 30 times around 10pm and each time I got an error message “bad gateway”. I woke up in the middle of the night and tried again with no success. The next morning i tried again and got the same error. I checked my email and it said I sent the return twice and there was an email showing a rejection and an acceptance. The H&R Block app stated the return had not been sent. Now I am facing a dilemma. I don’t know if my return has been filed or not . Do i mail a return and send payment with it or do I wait to see if the return was accepted? If the return I efiled was accepted then my account will be debited twice for payment. This is unacceptable.
Pros: Easy to prepare

Servers crashed on the eve of tax day and throughout the 15th causing a ton of anxiety. Poor communication from client service chat bot and confusing emails that conflicted with the status showing on the desktop software.

As a customer, I was not aware of the changes made to actually go in and pay our taxes due. In the past when I gave the credit card number to purchase the State filing, it used the same credit card to pay outstanding taxes. It was all automatic. No so this year. Kept watching for CC notification but when I still didn't have it I did some investigating. This should be somewhere easy to access.
The software is fine but not being able to submit on the last day of submitting is not in any way a good thing.
