2025 Business product is junk. Software loaded on both desktop and laptop, but when program opened it gives database error. Worked with help desk 3 times with no resolution. They submitted 1 regular and 1 expedited ticket to tech team. No one ever reached out despite me calling help desk many times. Now I am told, sorry, no refund; and sorry, don't know why tech team isn't dealing with this issue, it is impacting 1000's of customers. I have been using Premium & Business for 20 years and this 2025 version is the pits. Forced to switch to TurboTax. Ticket# 26795378 and #27143886
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I like this program and have recommended it to.others. it eliminates the frustration of using 2 separate program since I have to complete both 1040 and 1041

I bought this product because Turbo Tax now requires Windows 11. I did not wish to upgrade. So, H&R Block offered a product that still works on Windows 10. I have used Turbo Tax Home and Business for 20 years, and am very familiar with it. H&R Block is less user friendly and required many updates, for which I had to wait, in order to complete my tax return by March 15. I didn't feel confident that everything required was completed efficiently. But completed and e-filed following verification that everything checked out.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Works great. I use for 1041 and 1040. 1041 is not as user friendly as 1040
Pros: Maximizes refund, Fast

Personal program is awesome, business program need

Verified Purchase:Yes
The personal tax program is a breeze. You must have some tax knowledge in order to complete the state side of things and some unusual tax situations.The business tax program needs work. I loathe when I purchase a new laptop and have to begin at ground zero with the business information. The business software must develop a way to move information via thumb drive to the new laptop so the prior year's information transfers. It makes no sense the personal tax info saves and transfers via USB, but the business info has no transfer ability.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to import documents
I would recommend this to a friend!
