I have been using H&R for at least 10 years. I worked well until 2020 tax filing. In 2020 because of poor programing It cost me financial losses..The same in 2021 tax year. It has become an unreliable software..
Works great every year without any problems. We switched from the other brand software several years ago and couldn't be happier with our decision. We'll definitely continue to use this H&R Block tax software to do our taxes.
Needs more knowledgeable people on 800 help lines.

Overall the questions asked and instructions in the software work pretty smooth. There are a few areas where the instructions could be more detailed and clearer. Over the years I have had questions about some of the calculations in worksheets, but find that of late, the first tier 800 people often don't have the knowledge to answer the question and refer it to the "next level." Unfortunately, the next level people never get back to you. I make it a point to look at the worksheets so I can follow the numbers, so to speak. There is one area, on tax exempt bonds data transfer from the federal to state return I can't figure out, and the would really like a next level person go over that data. I have been using Block software for over fifteen years, but I am now considering switching to Turbo tax to see if they have better support in answering questions.
Generally a good experience using H&R Block Tax Software. Some instances where finding the data in the "correction" or "error" check phase is problematic.
There were a few sections where the HR Block software did not minimize my tax and I had to go back and make changes based on outside research. This was a significant hiccup.
