Customer Reviews for H&R Block Tax Software Premium 2024 - Windows, Mac OS [Digital]

Generally HRBlock does an adequate job. I use the Premium version because I have a fairly complex tax circumstance. Much of the information required to satisfy the IRS and my residence state is gathered by HRBLOCK, but not all. I am a non-practicing CPA and do taxes for my adult children and their families. For this purpose, it's fine, but their taxes are easy! The more complicated and multi-state situations I must figure out for myself are not, and often I must fill out IRS and state forms not available in this version, or any other that I know of. The real down side of HRBLOCK is its help screens. They are way to terse. Online help essentially does not exist. When I get the information I need from a Turbotax help site, I know there is a problem with HRBLOCK. So, if your taxes are straight forward, fine. If not, use something else or get a tax CPA to do them for you, and pay the price.
Pros: Easy to import documents, Fast
Cons: Hard to prepare
I would recommend this to a friend!

Paid for a software program to calculate everything and then I get to a section where you tell me I have to recalculate your calculations myself by hand and you reference publication 936 which is complicated and then I’m not told where to put my new calculation after I spend hours figuring it out. Now I have to go pay someone to do my taxes.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have used H&R Block premium tax software for the last 15 years. It is easy to install and very user friendly. I have/had a small business and the software walked me through filing both my federal and state taxes for the business and our personal taxes. I would recommend this software to anyone needing to do personal and small business tax preparation.
Pros: Easy to prepare
I would recommend this to a friend!

Once i learned the program it was much eaier. The print is a bit small for senior eyes. All in all it worked well and comparable to taxes done by a professional. The option for paying via H&R Block percentage-wise as "convenience fee" was much too high for what we owed, so I ended up e-filing but sent in my payment via check.
Pros: Easy to import documents
I would recommend this to a friend!

You need a little knowledge about investment taxes but generally easy to use and explanations abound. Applying to IRS very easy. Could be improved by allowing investors to return to the line from which they left when verifying imported stock sale information.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast

The problem of printing with Mac still continues from 2021 tax return, the font is too big to fit a tax form in one page.
There is no place to enter foreign government pension on Line 5 of 1040 in the program unless receive with EIN (cannot efile without EIN).

The software was lacking the form 8911 for EV charging equipment. This could have boosted my return by up to $1000. After using H&R Block for the last several years, this past year will most likely be my last.
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
