Thank you for leaving a review, and for providing positive feedback on our software. We're glad you had a great experience at H&R Block and look forward to seeing you again soon!
Compared to the visuals and on-screen button-clicking of TurboTax, the Mac version was disappointing. The app defaluts to a smallish window with smallish fonts. Both should be larger to make the experience friendlier. The most difficult thing was clicking the button to submit information and continue. There are very small screen areas that work, making it necessary to click multiple times until it works. The app also sometimes ask for information to be re-entered. Worst, the app had trouble recognizing some data from PDFs of W-2 and 1099 forms. This added time to what could have been a quicker experience. Finally, the purchase price did not include the processing plus tax for my state form. This unexpected cost eroded any savings I expected to realize compared to Turbo Tax.
Pros: Maximizes refund
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to import documents
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I always buy this product and have had good success. However, because of a small error, I had to submit my form twice, each time paying the California State form charge. Why did you charge my card twice? When am I going to get a refund for one charge?

We're glad to hear that you had a positive experience overall. While we aim for 5-star satisfaction, we understand that there may be areas where we can improve. We appreciate your business and value your input.
The software is great I’ve been a customer for over 20 years, the reason for a less than top rating is you charged me twice to submit my state filing. The first filing was rejected for a minor mistake which I fixed in a minute the resubmitted which you charged me a second time.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've used the software for several years and that is one of its biggest advantages making it easy from year to years since it imports from your previous year's file. I don't like that it asks all the itemized questions even if you know you will take the standard deduction; I wish it would ask if you want to itemize or not or "don't know" if it is close for a person.
