Have used H&R Block Premium & Business for 17 years, and never had an issue until the last 2 years. The individual tax program works great, but I’ve had severe issues with the business program for the past two years. After I’ve entered all the tax information, I get an “unexpected error” message that says “The program has encountered an unexpected error and needs to close.” At that point, I can do nothing. Fortunately, I had a print out of the forms that I’d entered thus far. But, I had to manually complete the state returns. I gave them another chance this year, but the exact same thing happened again. I will be going to a different program next year.
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Walk through for both my S Corp and personal very good and can run on Windows 10 unlike TT. Questions were clear and more to the point and produced results that I didn’t have to fix like TT. Forms method not so much. I found Forms to be somewhat cumbersome and couldn’t import my S Corp info from TT.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Hard to import documents

Software was released before the necessary forms were complete which caused the system to fail while I waited for updates. Even then, it was buggy. I also was unable to import my return from last year.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents

The additional business application was corrupt and was unusable. I searched to find help on the website but couldn’t find printed nor phone support to help me. What a waist of money and absolutely horrible support.

Quick and easy tax prep. I feel comfortable with the final returns and didn't have to pay a CPA for preparation for the 2nd year in a row. The program uploaded my HR Block 2024 return quickly which saved time. One minor problem was the Federal review which had 4 "problems" with the return but none were true on the return. Future FREE state electronic transmitting appreciated. Print and certified mail is a pain.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast

it worked in place of turbo tax which eliminated compatibility with WIndows 10. it is a big deal to change out an operating system regardless of the reason
