Wouldn't have it any other way

I've been an H&R Block Income Tax software customer for over a decade. With rental properties and a small business, my taxes could be daunting - but not with H&R Block! The program provides a simple, straightforward guided tutorial each step of the way. I love it how the software maintains all of my information from previous years, and automatically imports it into the current year.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I have the business and home "Premium and Business".
The Home product works very well and is very intuitive. The interview doesn't ask you for your IRS Provided PIN, so I learned the hard way to make sure I add that myself before sending my state and federal returns.
The Business package works, but it's not as intuitive as the Home product.
First tried the online version, it was not able to do depreciation, although advertised as able to. This program is actually two programs, but one would not update, so I opened the other program. Not too bad from there on. Thought this long-standing problem would have been fixed by now. Although I uploaded last years return, it still asked me many questions over again. It just seemed like no one ever proof-tested how it works.
there is a problem with this software at least with the Michigan version the issue is any the estimated state payments are entered into the federal version and are transfered over. Problem is if you take the standard deduction rather than itemizing this is not entered. A better way would be direct entery in the state return. This almost cost me a thousnd dollars if the state had not caught it and amended my return for me. Perhaps I missed something but this is still problematic.
I upgraded to Premium & Business this year since I launched my business this past fall. It was very helpful in finding business deductions (largest refund ever) and was very helpful when I completed my parent's taxes who moved to another state in 2022 after selling their home of 40 years.
Easy to use and make small changes for areas not covered by the software. Helpful hints and warnings by the software for the most part. I do recommend to others.
