Ease of use very understandable well explained I’ve been using it for years I have one computer that goes from 2-3 to 2023 I can pull up data from years back great product the others are a joke
This program gets worse every year. This year the business software did not work for me. Then one of my tax files got corrupted and I had to start over. I’m buying something different next year.
Federal returns work pretty well. State returns (MN) really lack interview questions and make you do the work, especially for a business return. Today, April 15, the HRBlock servers have been down since last night so e-filing doesn't work. That's unacceptable. Worse yet, every time you try to resubmit the e-file, they're charging my credit card for the state e-file. Painful and frustrating.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

All worked well except the charge for a 2nd state (PA) then a charge to file state. Easy enough to mail or use state online option.
The local wage tax was a nice add. Didn't see it last year.
I purchased Ibonds with my refund. Had to search out Form, no option from interview. It was a little painful toggling between the refund amount, 1st quarter estimate and the the Ibonds Form 8888 I think.
For the love of Mike, have some scalability or disaster recovery in place on tax day when thousands of users need to file with your software. I bought this premium product, as I have done for 10 years, to get schedule C and five free filings, and I had to resort to mailing returns because the gateway error persisted until near 5PM EST. Post offices close at 5PM near me, so I had no choice. I seriously should get a refund on this software for the ink, paper, certified postage, money order fees and time. What an epic fail on tax day. You've lost me as customer after 10 years. I'm done.
I had the same problem thousands of other likely did.....could not file my taxes online using H&R Block's software due to "bad gateway" server issues and after repeated attempts throughout the day, ended up paying federal separately online in order to mail my federal return. I was preparing my state taxes through the KS webfile site and while my wife was preparing to run the federal return to the post office, I made one more attempt to file everything online and it went through. (although I chose the option to "Mail a check" for my federal payment since I had paid it online already) And in the end, I feel as though the user experience is average, but I keep using HR Block since I did the prior year for consistency....
