i’ve been using since 2001. I love that all my tax returns are saved as pdf files, i love that previous years data is maintained in file (especially when i utilized the special 3 yr proration of thrift savings withdrawel during COVID) it was amazing that the program prorated it yearly for me. i was the type of person that enjoyed doing my tax returns manually but then old age came to play and my vision and fingers didn’t work like they did when i was younger and i started getting headaches squinting to read all the new rules and such and my hand writing started getting sloppyier so the H& R Block delux home has been ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL and wouldn’t do it any other way.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I’ve used the Block tax prep for quite a number of years now. Never had a problem nor been stumped on how to use it. It is thorough and user friendly. The transmission of data to both the Fed and State has been flawless. And my refunds have always been very timely. Much better than filing paper returns.
Other than the price and easy e-filing, it has become a terrible product. Just trying to find a single form is super frustrating.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Been using H&R for years and only 1 issue, inherited IRA RMD for 2023, and it is now fixed. Reason for 4 stars instead of 5 on accuracy. Fix was after I sent in my taxes but I was aware of the issue and adjusted for it.
Overall H&R Block Deluxe is a very good product. Overall it is easy to use and efficient. However, there were a few items that I had to go into the actual data sheets that got flagged and I had to correct. Some of these should have been handled by the regular interview pages as the average tax payers are not going to understand the issues with the data sheets/forms. If they need to engage a tax person to understand, then why bother purchasing the product. But in my case, I could understand the issue after a bit of research. The primary reason I choose this product over the competitors is due to cost. As long as this product is offered at a much more attractive price I will potentially continue with it. But if not, then the competitors come back into play.
