Clean Vehicle Credit

from Nevada
H &R Block updated the software for the Clean Vehicle Seller Report Credit, but our tax return kept being rejected by the IRS many times for the same
the reason that the VIN number was incorrect. I verified the VIN number with the manufacturer and it was correct as was submitted to the IRS.

Good tool but some flaws.
on March 27, 2024
Posted by: Reg user
from pa
I've use the tool for years now and find it valuable. I had a few difficulties this year. I did returns for myself and my daughter. For some reason I lost hers midstream and had to start again. Not sure why. I saw no warning re: any action I took. As you can imagine, I was disappointed.
Secondly, the print options aren't clear to me. That's been the case for each year. So, I print the basic info and save my return. then I go into my files and open the return to copy other pages where I can get a better feel for what I want to print. Then the program asks me a question about replacing the return. I don't really want to replace it, but "cancel" doesn't get me out of the screen. I'm not sure what I end up with if i say replace or don't replace since I haven't changed anything. The crux of the matter is not understanding the initial print options.

Great Program
on March 26, 2024
Posted by: VPrice
from South Carolina
I brought this program because I don't have a lot of information to include on my tax return. This program guides you through what you need to add, which make completing your tax return less frustrating, less time consuming and they even electronic file your tax return. Great program, thank you for making filing tax returns easy.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

Frustrating
on March 24, 2024
Posted by: Madmant
I have multiple foreign accounts I need to report on Form 8398. The program informs me that if I have more than 3 copies (additional statements) I cannot e-file. I have input more than 3 accounts in several previous years using Block. Program is useless unless I can e-file.
Pros: Easy to import documents
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

one of the best programs I’ve used.

from wilm, DE
user friendly. You don’t have to be an expert on taxes to use and understand easy directions. However; using State return, the normal flow of input was not as easy. It was (as if) a commercial was inserted and no one explained that had occurred. Three screens later the program input showed up and I continued to a successful completion.
Pros: Easy to import documents, Fast
