As always, the personal return software is fine. It works as advertised, and HRBlock did a good job of patching in all the changes and exceptions dictated by the various Pandemic support items going into this year's return. My problem is with the business software. As I normally do, I completed my Form 1065 return and K-1s by mid-February, and then let things sit until the latter part of March waiting for a final update. When I went to fire up the software I received a notice that there was an unexpected error and that the program had to close. After a couple more attempts, I knew I had a real problem. I then uninstalled the business package, downloaded a fresh copy and reinstalled it. Same error message. I waited a week and did the uninstall/reinstall fresh copy again. Same error message. HRBlock Business is DOA.
This software does Partnerships and S Corps which is exactly what I need. I've been buying this software for over 12 years. It is easy to use and locate additional information when needed.
Experienced install issues this year, that I did not have in past years and it’s the business tax return,Unable to import last years return. Personal return was fine and did not experience an issues.
Relatively comprehensive, easy to use program. It served me well when self employed, as well as applying to my rental house. Good coverage for common investments. The program does not work well in reporting income from partnerships.
I did not need the plus business. I will in the future so I wanted to check it out. Very useful tools and help when needed. I've been using this software for years.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
Less expensive than the TurboTax equivalent and it works fine enough, but the interview is not as good. Ok for basic returns, but not that good for more complicated ones. And the help function when something goes wrong is pretty bad. For example, my return was rejected by IRS. H&R Block gave me a rejection code (meaningless string of numbers and letters) and the advice to go through and check out every page of my return to see if I can find any mistakes. That's all the help they offered.
