IRS did not accept my e-file. What do you think of that?

Good but still room for improvement
on September 8, 2026
Posted by: Jmaxfl
Ran into the deadly id pin circle around the drain, your instructions about how to resolve it and where to go to fix it can still be improved, as well as a simple explanation of the difference between the 5 digit and 6 digit pins. But, overall a good piece of software.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hr block tax program I didn’t feel could help me make corrections to my tax return that I could understand and follow. I won’t buy this program in the future because of this issue. Poor instructions.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not enough explanations.

Product is great. Service is terrible. You've charged me 3 times for the same program. Even your support team couldn't fix the problem. They were the ones that cancelled the program and installed new ones. They left me hanging so I couldn't file a return. I had to turn to an outsider. I now have a claim number. What does that mean? Please have someone call me!
Cons: Hard to import documents

I have used this tax prep many years in the past. I even switched over from a competitor and have not been tempted to go back. I would like to suggest a “reminder message” for those times tax forms get interrupted and are incomplete or unsent!
I would recommend this to a friend!
