Randomly crashes on a M1-based Apple MacBook Pro
on March 16, 2023
Posted by: ManyMoonsAgo
from Tampa, FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
Both the 2021 and 2022 Basic editions routinely and randomly crash on a 2021 MacBook Pro (Apple Silicone M1 processor). Once the application crashes, relaunching the application does not remedy the issue, the H&R Block software will continue to crash on the same question/step. The only remedy is to reboot the entire machine, relaunch the application and continue completing your tax return, saving after each response as the application will crash again on a subsequent question. Very frustrating and disappointing. After 14 consecutive years of using H&R Block's software, I will be using a different company's software for the 2023 tax return.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The product gives step by step guidance. If you’re not sure about something, there is usually a “Learn more “ hyperlink. I’ve used it for years with no problems.
Pros: Easy to prepare

I have been using HR Block tax software for ~20 years (since it was known as TaxCut). It makes filing easy, accurate, and reliable, and has consistently been a superior product.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast

Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet
on March 15, 2023
Posted by: Glen Dinwiddie
from Kenner, Louisiana
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had a capital gain on my tax return for 2022 which was correctly reported on line 7 of my 1040 form with an "X" in the box on this line indicating that schedule D was not required. The tax due as reported on line 16 was based on the "Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet - Line 16". I was able to come up with the tax due reported on line 16 by printing out a copy of this worksheet and filling in the appropriate numbers on the lines on this worksheet but it would have been preferred if I could have printed out this filled out worksheet but when I said to print out my tax return with all applicable forms and worksheets, this worksheet was not included.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Fast
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I love the software capabilities and have been using it for many years. I have some concerns. 1. This year, for the first time, I was not able to submit my return for over 3 weeks due to admitted process difficulties. I had to resubmit 3 times, the last one finally worked. I wonder if my free filing count of 5 will be impacted by this. 2. This year you forced me to use Windows 10. I wonder if my submitting difficulties resulted from this requirement. 3. When printing my return, I am not able to deselect forms that I do not want to print.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming
