Customer Reviews for H&R Block Tax Software Basic 2024 - Windows, Mac OS [Digital]

The Basic edition works good! I use it to import last year's return as well as income and stock-trade documents. However, 4 star review because of issues filing my return on tax day. Ultimately, my return was filed and accepted after several attempts, after several hours of trying. Also, automatic updates were not working for my Mac and I had to manually download and install updates. That said, I will probably move to the online version, next year because it has all the features I require.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents
I would recommend this to a friend!

Won't print only the tax forms for 1040. Prints all of the worksheets that are not necessary for record keeping.
Pros: Maximizes refund
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare

I have been using H&R Block software for my taxes for close to 30 years. It has made the whole confusing taxes so much easier and faster. I have never been audited using their software, but I know they have my back if needed.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast

On the 14th and 15th the eFile servers were down and there was only a useless AI bot to try and communicate with. HRBlock left their customers scrambling on 3rd party forums to try and figure out why the software was failing to efile. HRBlock's server outage on the 14th and 15th with little to no communcation is hilariously bad. How are there not support reps 24-hours per day during tax season when the software doesn't work?
As far as preparation goes, the software does not seem to provide for entry of amortized assets on Schedule E and it does not import it properly from TurboTax. I'll probably go back to TurboTax. Very disappointed in the first year I tried HRBlock. I guess that's why it's cheaper.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This tax return was very simple, 1099-Rs, Social Security, interest & Dividends. It was easy to follow the steps provided and informed me when the return was sent, then accepted.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Fast

Every year means every year. Easy, complete, and reliable.
Tax prep is NOT easy, fun, and the user is responsible for the results, such as maximizing, but the software makes it possible for the user to achieve the goal. Paying someone to do your taxes means only that they will do only the best possible with what YOU TELL THEM. So just do it yourself.

I have used HR block for about 10 years. I have never had this problem before. the server went fown the night before taxes were due. this created a lo of unneccesary anxiety for us when we were prepaiting our taxes. I was told to fule manually. I buy the ptogram so i dont have to file manually....Very dissapointed.
Pros: Easy to prepare
