I used H&R Block software for 20+ years until my older computer could not download the product in tax year 2023. With a new computer in 2025, I was anticipating a satisfactory 2025 tax season using the Premium edition. Well, the 2025 experience was far less comfortable than what I recalled with the old software or even compared to the .com service I used for the past 2 years. In particular, the H&R Block.com service in ‘23 & ‘24 tax years seemed to handle rental income much more comfortably than did the ‘25 tax years seemed software. I’ll likely shop around next year.
Pros: Maximizes refund
Cons: Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are so happy to hear about your positive experience! We appreciate your time & business and thank you for taking time out of your day to provide us with valuable feedback!
Software is laid out logically and captures all deductions. The only improvement I’d suggest is to have an easier way to travel to an exact spot. For Example I get a 1098T, I’d like a way to type or check off 1098t somewhere at the beginning where it will take me to where it gets entered.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund

I have been using H&R Block software for many years. I find it to be very comprehensive. I Find it easy to understand, but my background in business and accounting may account for some of my grasp of that understanding. There are, however, abilities to access help through the software for those who lack some knowledge. I cannot comment on those additional services that are available, since I have not had the need to use them.

I have had an open case since late December and it is still not resolved, I am spent hours with every level of HR Block support and am still waiting. Software cannot run on my desktop (but does on laptop).
Last call was over a month ago - they said they would research and get back.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
