Customer Reviews for H&R Block - Tax Software Basic 2026 - Windows, Mac OS

I have been using H&R Block Tax Cut before it was bought by H&R Block. I love it. But this year I had trouble loading in forms from one of my Vendors.
It started with one account not completed until May 11th. So, I entered and loaded all my other transactions into the system. When the last account was available, I tried loading it and it took a long time to load and then would error out with a storage error. I tried several times and it would do the same. Then I created a new fresh return with nothing but last year’s information and question until I got to the interest and dividends portion. I loaded this one vendor’s accounts, and it took a long time to load but it did load all my accounts. The problem was the 1099-B of the late account. There were 1556 1099-Bs. And each generated an error for each one. Luckly, it passed the final checks, and I was able to submit my return to the IRS without error.
I would like you guys to figure out a way around this problem for the future software without needing to load a bare return. This could also be a problem here if there were too many 1099-Bs to be inported.
Cons: Hard to import documents

Everything seemed good and I sent it in. Checked back to check on status and when to expect refund and was told it hadn't been sent in. Apparently my id code wasn't included when it should have been (I thought I included it). I completed it and resubmitted it and if apparently went in. Probably was my fault but thought I should mention this since this was the first time this happened after using this since my previous software company was bought out by H&R.
Pros: Easy to prepare

2025 taxes were done and refunded fast but something is amiss with 2024 which still is being held up. Apparently the IRS didn't like something that your software didn't catch. I can't even find out why they are holding it up
Pros: Easy to prepare

Good federal package. Worked well for two returns with different degrees of complexity. I wish the state add-on was a cost effective option. But it isn't.
Pros: Easy to prepare

Since we use H&R Block tax programs every year, it makes it super-easy to input information. So far, we've had no reason not to trust this software. Takes a lot of the stress out of filing.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents
