This is the worst tax program I've ever bought. Instructions are terrible; redundancy is rampant; it doesn't even obey its own rules. I will never buy this again.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents

The software saved me thousands of dollars.

I had to amend my return because I improperly rolled over an inherited 401k balance and had to treat the entire balance as income for the year. HR Block applied a special IRS rule that applies to inherited IRAs/401ks when the person who died was born before January 2, 1936. If I had done my taxes manually, I probably would not have taken advantage of this rule and would have had to pay thousands more in taxes. The software was well worth the money that I paid for it.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents

Hello Harry, thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad the software helped you uncover valuable tax savings, especially with such a complex situation. That special IRS rule can make a big difference, and we’re proud our tools helped you apply it correctly. It’s stories like yours that remind us why we do what we do. We’re honored to be part of your tax journey and truly appreciate your trust in H&R Block.
We are upgrading to Linux operating system and stepping away from Microsoft. Please make H&B software as compatible for the 2025 tax year! It would be a great selling point. I have used H&B for decades......
Pros: Easy to prepare

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback! We value hearing your voice and are grateful for the opportunity to improve your experience. We truly appreciate your many years of trust and loyalty!
I filed electronically and the program apparently sent IRS different numbers than what was on the printed return. This caused great frustration and delay while I tried to verify myself. Apparently the number sent for my refund was less than half of what printed out. A thoroughly crappy program.
Cons: Hard to import documents
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thanks for reaching out and sharing your concern. We understand how confusing it can be when the refund amount differs from what was printed.
If any changes were made after printing your return—or if the IRS made their own adjustments—the amount sent electronically may not match the printed version. This can affect the refund total.
Please feel free to contact us directly at 1-800-472-5625 so we can address any concerns you have.
The questionairre is not clear and the font is very small. The help is not helpful at all. You need alternate explantions on most questions.
