Filing status is confusing
on April 15, 2024
Posted by: Anonymous
from Columbus, OH
The software worked well while creating the return but when I clicked submit, it kept spinning and spinning and finally displayed error. I tried twice with the same result. As it was in the night of 4/14, I thought the server might be busy and planned to try again early morning next day. But in the night, I got an email that my return was filed and accepted. In the morning, I checked H&R block software and it still said not filed. I went to IRS web site and confirmed that my return was indeed filed. It is so confusing and misleading.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Tried to e-file federal taxes.Kept getting an error bad gateway and message saying it failed.Tried several times and went through trouble shooting help but didn't work.Then all of a sudden i get an email the irs accepted my return.But the software thinks i didn't file and now I can't check the status or know if it actually got sent or not.Also will not let me e-file for state because of this.I could have got a cheap version if i wanted to just mail them and now i had to waste the time to print my federal return and mail it in just in case.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents

Servers are down, can't file my taxes!!!!! This a 100% failure on the day before taxes are due. First time I've ever had a problem with HR Block software. Tied E-filing my taxes and get the error "Bad Gateway". Clearly the HR Block servers are having a melt down. I will not be using this software next year.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to import documents
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Easy to use, at my leisure.

Like my title say, it's easy to use, and you can stop, and start when you can work on it.
Importing the w2 for a State that doesn't have State tax seems to struggle with a 0 tax amount, and this year the software told me that the file server couldn't connect to me, however I got notified that the IRS accepted my file.
Weird!
