Software bug with 1099-NEC income affected 2 federal returns. In one, we had to delete and reenter the 1099-NEC before it would pass the accuracy test. In the other, many of the business income and expenses records were corrupted. and had to be redone.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Firstly, the exe would not download (did not appear in download folder) using Mozilla Firefox even though it completed properly. I lost 2 download attempts doing that. Fortunately, I reached a terrific rep right away who assisted me in successfully downloading it via Microsoft Edge. When entering certain tax-exenpt portions of INT and DIV income, instead of subtracting from the total shown when complete, it added, implying more income was generated instead of less (taxable). I would like better explanations when the interview simply directs the user to fill out the underlying form. In particular, when identifying an estimated tax penalty, it would be extremely helpful to identify the quarter(s) that did not confotm. This took me a long time to figure out because one payment was 2 days late. Finally, I'd like to see page or Form selection on printouts of official returns to allow for minor changes limited to a subset of forms to be printed instead of having to reprint the entire return.
I am a long time user and after what happened this weekend and the anxiety you created I will never use your program again. In fact, it has been 4 days and I still don't have an answer on my state programs that you say are pending.
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Why was I prompted to buy and download software?!?

from Beloit, WI
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have prepared my taxes online with H&R block in 2021 and 2022. I experienced issues accessing my 2022 tax info which couldn't be resolved. I completed the entire Federal form for Federal and when moving to State, I was prompted to buy a package to continue. I didn't realize it was to purchase and download software for tax prep. I thought I needed it to complete my taxes. I had to re-enter everything!! Then I paid more to complete or file State. After completing and submitting my Federal and State taxes, I found the original site still open. Grrr! It says I haven't completed my tax prep and need to continue to complete! I feel like I was scammed into purchasing the Software that I didn't really need. I will be using another tax prep resource next year.
Pros: Maximizes refund
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to import documents

I have used the H&R Block tax software for thirteen years and have never had a problem. I used to get the Premium + State when I had a home business, and now I use Deluxe + State filing the Federal and two state returns, one a Non-resident return.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents
