I have used Block software for years. This year it said I had a "clean" return -- no issues. I e-filed only to be rejected because my 5-digit pin "signature" didn't match IRS files. The IRS pin I was mailed had 6 digits. The software was truncating the IRS pin even though it was entered elsewhere in the return prep process. I called Block help number and explained my problem. I was repeatedly put on hold for 15 minutes at a time as the receptionist "checked with my team." Multiple fixes were tried over an hour on the phone. Nothing worked. I then had to spend several hours printing 30+ pages of returns, attaching documents, etc. and mailing. A refund days will now take months. A pretty basic software flaw found Block team unaware and unable to solve.

First time in years that the software has confused me over REIT dividends. I count on the software for clarity; not this year.
Pros: Easy to import documents

Not enough information was carried over from the previous year and not enough information flowed through the return - too much manual entry.
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Product worked fine but very disappointed with business aspects. I’m a repeat customer. I started getting discount offers if I filed very early in Jan. Well nobody gets bank and broker statements that early. Then they could not recognize me, so I paid full price - within hours they offer 30% off. Very poor customer relations.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Fast
Cons: Hard to import documents
