I’ve used theirs product for many years and mostly understand its ins and outs. Over the years, the company has become more greedy as to what it gives for the price. They may look for a different service next year, not sure.
My biggest complaint about the program is that it will occasionally say “go to IRS form $&@/ and figure this part out yourself.” Why aren’t those forms plugged up into the program? Shouldn’t I be able to trust the software to figure it out for me based on my entries? Also, why does it ask questions most people can’t answer (like, do you want to use this method or that?) I don’t know! I don’t know the difference. Guide me and explain in clear and plain language. What happens if I do this? What happens if I do that?
Am extra charge for state filing is also ridiculous.
What I like is the familiarity year after year and the simple entry.
Last comment is the ridiculousness of trying to submit this form.
Pros: Fast
Cons: Hard to prepare

The interview makes it easy and follows a logical order to input data. From year to year the program carries over things such as depreciation, capital losses and other important values that need to be carried over in subsequent tax years.
It might have been great if it wasn’t a complete failure on 15 April. After e-file federal was rejected time and time again I went online with IRS and filed for an extension, paying the amount your program said I owed. Then(!!) I see e-mail the my 1040 had been accepted?!? The program still reports that I had not yet e-filed.
At this point I really have no idea what my filing status is but I see that IRS has pulled money from my account for both your reported acceptance of my 1040 and for my filing for the extension. The program still reports that I haven’t filed.
Abominable service this year and I have no idea if I will get my extra payment back. It was not a small number this year, nearly $5000.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Program unable to specifically modify and/or remove K-1 data once entered the first time. Carries over to state firm as well...miserable experience that greatly increases my filing hassle, stress and time required. When importing , program should allow option for individually accepting/declining each portion of the import

Cons: Time consuming, Hard to import documents

Been using this program since I first stated my rental business more than 10 years ago. Block does a great job with interview questions and always gets me my best refund or lowest payment! And since I have been using it so long it's super easy to import data from the prior year.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for leaving a review, and for providing positive feedback! We're glad you had a great experience at H&R Block!
Glitch in 2023 software resulted in my getting an error code every time I tried to transmit my taxes electronically and my returns getting rejected. After hours of trying to fix every possible problem I finally had to spend the time and money to submit on paper on time. Unimaginable frustration and then I find out this happened to thousands of other people. I have been using this program for 6 years now but will never use again!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
