something about my computer and this software that isn't compatible. Every year I get that it can't be updated, to check date and time and ultimately I have to download it onto my laptop to transmit the data. I like how easy this program is to follow along but wish it could be figured out for my computer.
Had problem with efile return when primary tax payer was deceased during that tax year. Entered all info correctly and IRS rejected. May not be HR block issue but support was nil
The software installed fine, but would not update without crashing. This happened repeatedly, even after other updates, and it happened with both federal and state updates. In past years, this has not been a problem; this was just an issue with the 2021 software. I also had to do an amended return. The federal amended return worked well, but I was unable to amend the state return. I ended up having to amend the state return using paper forms and doing everything manually.
Block's software failed to allow my wife and me the larger personal exemption for seniors. It also failed to allow a deduction for expenses for a rental property that it allowed the prior year. Your system is confusing and cumbersome to use, and I am a tax attorney. God knows what it does to people who don't know enough to question it.
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare
