I used the Deluxe desktop version for compatibility with my computer OS. I have had problems with H&R program making errors in the past, but this version is absolutely terrible. I spent hours trying to get it to correctly enter information. After I entered my pension information and went on to the next item, it spontaneously changed the previous entry. It took forever to figure out how to enter a transaction that did not have a 1099-B. It would not scale the text properly to print. Finally, after e-filing only my federal return, I changed my mind and decided to e-file my state return. Sorry, you can't get there from here. These are just the highlights. Even worse than the software is the support: there is none. You get directed to a worthless bot that is an excellent example of Artificial Ignorance. After wasting your time, it tries to send you to an accountant for a fee when all you want is to find out how to make the application operate properly. I had to find solutions by using chatbots. The bottom line is that this is the last H&R Block product I will ever buy, and I strongly encourage everyone else to avoid this worthless product.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I paid about 25% more for this year's software than in previous years. I also had to use Gemini to help explain a few tax issues when I needed help. I felt that it was information that H&R block should have provided. With that said, filling out the forms and submitting my taxes was a good experience as usual.
Pros: Fast
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents

I appreciate the new "AI" help. It was much easier to find answers to my questions this year. In the past, finding helpful information related to a specific question was the biggest issue I had with this software, so congrats on adding this feature!

We have used this product for the last 6 years and will continue for the foreseeable future. Completed fed and state taxes in 6-8 hours. The overall interface is good for loading all material needed to complete our annual taxes. We typically have 10-12 W-2's and 1099's to load as well as going through the interviews for itemizing vs. standard deductions. However, one area that is more difficult to manage is back door roth and roth conversions. If you could provide more clear guidance or better interview structure on these topics that would be helpful. We usually have to look up other external sources for help in these areas.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents
