I've been using software from H & R Block for 10-15 years and am very happy with it. However, I ran into a problem this year. I e-filed my federal taxes this year, as usual, but, instead of getting a paper check in the mail, I received a notice from the IRS stating that my banking information was not correct and they could not direct deposit (I hadn't entered any at all). I did not know and the Software did not tell me that I was required by the IRS to direct deposit. I had to set up an account with the IRS and have my identity verified by ID.me. This process took 9 days to successfully accomplish, VERY annoying.

I’ve been using this tax software for years, but this year I had a lot of trouble with compatibility with my Mac. Your team was very helpful, but it was not easy getting through it this year.

You sent my state return twice causing it to be rejected. I had to straighten it out with the state. You billed me 6, yes 6, times for e-filing my state return.
Will you contact me to make amends?
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have used the H&R Block tax software for years. It allows the user to retrieve the previous year information (if it was saved on your computer) and modify it with current year information. It is simple and reliable.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!
