I was a TurboTax user. HR Block got the job done, but it was more confusing and often use tax jargon that the average person would not understand. One example -- I was not able to figure out how to get a credit for foreign taxes paid on one of my mutual funds. It presented me with confusing choices and in the end I gave up. In past years, TurboTax was a lot easier to use and I had no problems claiming a credit.
Pros: Fast
Cons: Hard to prepare

I have been using H & R Block tax software for years and keep going back to it because it is so user friendly. I am a real estate agent so considered self-employed. Once you enter your profession, it guides you through all of the deductions a real estate agent may possibly have. Very helpful
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Fast

Thank you for being a loyal H&R Block customer over the years! We’re thrilled to hear you had a positive experience and truly appreciate your continued trust and valuable feedback.
I am a first time user of H&R Block having always used Turbo Tax. A lot of my review will be a comparison to Turbo Tax which will be valuable to you. First you are priced right. That is what drove me to you. Turbo Tax is way overpriced. I really appreciated the very short time it takes your program to update. It is such a winner over Turbo Tax in that area which takes forever. You have a great system to jump from one work area to another. I like that. Where you could use improvement: Mainly in the visual presentation. It is very plain with small print. Dress it up and enlarge the print. Make it more attractive. Right now it looks more like an accountant's program.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast

I've been using this tax software for more than a decade and have usually been satisfied. Not this year. After prepping my taxes and clicking the button to e-file, your software decided it needed to do another update. In the process of doing this, you took my free e-file code and used it, but didn't file my taxes. After the update when I tried to e-file, it said my code had already been used. It had not since the e-file didn't go through because of the software update. I had to pay a separate fee to e-file. Maybe next year we try TurboTax.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

In the past three years, I haven't been able to use your software on my newest computer with Windows 11.
I had to use an old computer. I have reported the issue, and nobody seems to know why, and there is no positive answer from your tech people. It is a shame that a company like yours, has no answers and solutions to a simple problem.
