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

This year my taxes were really basic and this program fit my needs perfectly. Took maybe 30 minutes and the internal review showed no possible issues. IRS accepted first try. I have used more complex HRB programs for many years and have been happy with all my results.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy use and fast download. Do NOT use the camera feature, does not work at all and will make you start over because the info it uses is wrong.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Fast

This program has too many limitations
on March 1, 2020

I have used tax software for years. This year, the H&R Block basic software had so many limitations that it left me way too frustrated. 1) I suggested I "might" need to fill out form 8606 by hand and directed me to the IRS publication. I would suggest that a paid software program should be able to walk me through the right questions to determine what was needed. 2) It would not let me print or save to PDF a "completed" copy of my return until after I e-filed. I would suggest that I should be able to do it before e-filing and consider it very offensive that the software program that I purchased prevented me from doing so. 3) I was not allowed to go into "forms" view and make any changes. I used to be able to do this in previous years with Turbo Tax. I also find this offensive that the software I paid for forces me to go back and forth between a barely readable form and their difficult to navigate questions sections. Overall I was highly unsatisfied, yet will state that it did sort out the numbers on my tax return correctly (I think).
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I’ve been using H&R Block for so many years. It’s the constant “go to” tax program that takes care of everything 1st time! Pro or not at taxes - it will never let you down.
Pros: Maximizes refund
I would recommend this to a friend!
