I bought the Premium individual & business edition. This is the second year that the federal was accepted and the Iowa rejected because of a federal problem. You never got it fixed last year and I had to file Iowa on paper - it was accepted with no errors. It must be a software error on HR Block end. I think I better try TurboTax next year. I've had Block prepare my returns since 1967.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

On the rental review form, it would be helpful if you included exactly where to put Condo owners Association Fees (or similar). Almost all people who provide vactation condos for rent have a significant amount of fees that need to be on the return. I almost missed where to put them and had to figure it out myself.

I have used HR Block software since the 2008 tax year. Very good! I wish I could still buy CD's because we are going to get new laptops this summer. But I understand the cost savings for you.

Thank you for your kind words! We're delighted to hear that you had a great experience with us. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we appreciate your business. Thank you for your valuable feedback, and we hope to see you again soon!
I am able to do my own taxes on premium. I love that I can download from previous years. However, the access to help is not as easy as previous years because of AI. I’d change to access to a person- not AI.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for your feedback! Your voice is heard and we appreciate knowing how we can make your experience better. Feel free to contact us at 1-800-472-5625 if we can assist in any way.
It is fairly easy to use, But it does not transfer all data from the previous year if you used the online version instead of the download version. So you will be entering a lot of information again. It also does not include the 2 year comparison at then end which is very useful to me. Not sure why the download version is cheaper than the online version, that is frustrating.
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I worked for HRB for 16 years, so I bought the software after I retired. I used it for about ) years until I found an error in the QCD line on the 1040. I called to report the error and was told that I was wrong. So I switched to TurboTax. This year, I’m trying this software again, because I think it’s better than Ttax. I don’t have any QCD this year, so I don’t know if that is fixed.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Time consuming
