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

We switched to H&R Block years ago. The best feature is the easy navigation. You can go anywhere you want at any time. It also explains not just the rules, what you should include, but also where your results come from. Numbers are loaded into the proper forms simultaneously for you to see. You never feel lost or blindly following steps without knowing where you are going to. The only thing we'd prefer more is better support for state returns.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

Have used personal version for a couple of years. It works similarly and as well as the competition. Will keep using it.
However, the Business version, with few exceptions, simply displays the forms and lets you fill them in. Very little in the way of explanation or direction. I purchased it because my business is very simple (except for a new 401K) and I don't need an accountant (yet), but I did want some automated help (like how to fill in 401K amounts properly). Could probably have done as well simply downloading PDF's from IRS (to find my answers, that's what ended up happening anyways). Will probably look for a different solution next year for my Business.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Once you become familiar with the interview process, it is relatively easy. Even better, once you have used it once, and made sure to save your file where you can find it, the following year(s) can import your old data and continue on.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have been using H&R Block software for many years, but this year I had more difficulty than ever with the software itself. I could not file an extension as in past years; I created an e-file extension for business and now I cannot create an e-file to submit the final 1065...totally frustrating! Software also said I could not e-file if there was not earned income of a credit...my daughter just wants consistency though this was a bad year.

Helps only with simple math, simple check boxes, and carrying values between forms. Interview help stops abruptly in areas that are only slightly more complex than typical. You then get dumped to the raw IRS forms and IRS Instructions to bushwhack through those all on your own, with no assistance whatsoever. "Go to the IRS form, fill out following IRS instructions, and then return." No value add whatsoever in all those areas.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The software is very easy to use and gets easier if you use it a second year as everything is imported from the previous year.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast

Filling out the federal return was fairly straightforward, but the state returns (MA and NY) were terrible. Very little instruction, and some of the instructions in the software read differently than the actual forms. I also filled out payment information for electronic funds payment (NY) but that didn't populated the electronic filing and so I ended up with a bill with interest.
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The personal tax portion of Premium & Business worked OK. If you have an S-corp that requires 1120S, it's supposedly supported. However, the interview process is VERY weak, and if you simply follow the interview, you will miss out on the 20% Qualified Business Income deduction! I caught this at the last minute and bought Turbo Tax, which brought my tax liability down by about $11k!
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
