The state of New Jersey withheld my refund because on inspection they could not reconcile my W2 wages with my tax return. They asserted that box 11 "income" reported on the W2 should be reported on NJ-line 15 WAGES. TAX CUT put the income on NJ-line 26 OTHER. While tax was correct (income is income), it took almost a year for me to get through convincing NJ Division of Taxation I paid the correct tax. Note others I retired with that had NON-QUALIFIED Income reported annually on a W2 as box 11, had their taxes reported the same way and were not challenged. H&R Block needs to reconcile this with New Jersey. I had to manually adjust my 2025 tax return to meet with the NJ Div of Taxation requirements for box 11 income. The income is from two source - non-qualified pension component and payout from a deffered compensation plan.
Cons: Hard to prepare

Have used this software for about 10 years. It has become way too difficult to fix errors that come up in the section that tells you to fix before filing. Had to redo my return from the start 3 times.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare

I have used this software for years and never had any issues. This year however I was not crazy about the AI attached to it. I would have given 5 stars as I have in the past if not for the AI which caused more research needing to be done outside of the program than in the past.

The software does a basic tax return fine, but it is inadequate for more complex requirements such as handling K-1s. On many issues, the software just instructs the user to consult the IRS documentation and figure it out. I also was unable to import data from my brokerage accounts, so I had to input all that information manually. The software is helpful but I would like to see more functionality.
Cons: Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for leaving a review, and for providing positive feedback. We're glad you had a great experience with H&R Block and hope to see you again next tax season!
Pretty good. Relatively easy to use. However, I was disappointed that the IRS rejected electronic filing of my return and the program was unable to identify what was wrong other than it might have been a technical error in the personal information. I believe it should have been able to identify the error.
I would recommend this to a friend!
