Customer Reviews for H&R Block - Tax Software Premium 2025 - Windows, Mac OS
Posted by: Anonymous

Verified Purchase:Yes
This software requires a "premium" version if a person has received even a single 1099 for gig work or a small contract project. This is what I call price gouging. Gig workers are not well-off small business owners. They're typically the poorest, lowest paid, most desperate among us. It's not right to charge them the highest fees for filing their taxes.
This software itself is showing its age, it hasn't had a major UI improvement in years. But it does do the job, and I keep using it because it's the path of least resistance.

I'm a former CPA and I used Turbo Tax for 36 straight years. I dumped their product since they got too expensive and were really pushing their tax advice services. H&R is a good product. My prior year data transferred accurately, the 1099 import-data feature works and the step-process is logical. Please make the computer arrow keys work to navigate a form for next year.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents
I would recommend this to a friend!

HRBlock software is constantly and chronically updated, and I was unable to boot a WIndows 11 computer after shutting down in the aftermath of "hung" HRBlock and Windows System updates. Recovering the computer took much of a days time of prepare a Windows 11 Recovery USB drive and to clean up the system to make it bootable again. In the aftermath, I had lost my Wisconsin State Tax return but reentered it manually from my printed return. But HRBlock is now in a Doom Loop, where whenever I open my return, it shows I owe State of Wisconsin $3900, which reverts to a $239 refund when I start to "click through" the state tab, but I have to reenter that I am applying all of this $239 refund to my 2026 Wisconsin income tax. I e-filed in this recovered state and hoping that Wisconsin doesn't demand $3900 in payment, but on saving the corrected return, opening it again brings it back into this state, and the Copilot AI after recommending all possible recover actions is recommending that for my records, I reenter the entire Federal and State interviews from my printout after reinstalling HRBlock.
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

from New York
Verified Purchase:Yes
Could not take my nonresident California NEC 592-B income, so the California software that I purchased was useless and a waste of money for me. I was disappointed with the nonresident state software this year, it was not as simple to complete as in years past. I will be switching to Turbo Tax next year.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Unhappy - final update for Depreciation took long
on March 26, 2026
Posted by: KRPB
from WI
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had my taxes completed beginning of February, but I could not submit them until the Depreciation segment was "fixed". TaxCut kept saying the next update would fix the issue. But the next update said the same thing. It took over 4 weeks to finally get a correction in the Depreciation section so I could submit the forms.
I've used TaxCut since around 1990 and have never been disappointed like this until this year.
