Verified Purchase:Yes
Software version seems better than on line version- found other savings. The on line version easily imported W2 & 1099R but everything else had to be manually entered in software.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund
Cons: Hard to import documents
I would recommend this to a friend!

We’re so happy to hear you had a good experience. We appreciate your business, and thank you for the valuable feedback!
I have used the HRBlock download tax software for more than 10 years and it has worked great for me. The system responds quickly to starting the software for a new return or updates to a return in work. The system also quickly installs software updates when they are required.
My negative comment about the block tax software involves how to contact block if a error is suspected in their tax software. I found what appear to be an error in the 2024 software but there was no way to report the issue to block.

While printing out my income tax on the 2024 software, It kept cutting off the letters and words on the sheet. I guess it had a glitch in it.
Pros: Easy to prepare

Thank you for taking time to give us feedback! We apologize that your experience did not meet your expectations. At H&R Block, we strive to provide 5-Star customer satisfaction each and every time.
Nickel-and-diming from start to finish. Between the software, state versions, and e-filing, I paid more than my total refund. Absurdly expensive for something that simply helps meet a legal obligation for working people.
Also, it suggested I run my state return two ways to compare—but didn’t save the first attempt or provide a side-by-side comparison. When I redid the first, it wiped the second. Frustrating and poorly designed.
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Got strange results importing from Schwab and Fidelity. Imported twice, I figured it out. The 2210 form is a nightmare! This happened in 2022 and 2023 also. Dinged by the IRS for a penalty because of a wrong box checked. I estimate taxes. The quarterly income varies. IRS has strange definition of a quarterly. The program needs some work. Wasted many hours getting straightened out. Bad feeling about 2024. My wife said I should switch.
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents
