easy to use but it does not explain everything

I love how easy it is to use but I wish that some sections explained things in more common language. For basic tax items it's great but when I have to dive deeper into more complicated items, there is not enough explanation to understand what I am supposed to do. I wish that there was more help readily availabe in the program without having to seek outside of it.
Pros: Easy to prepare
I would recommend this to a friend!

The software works, but it is awkward to use and progress on the return is difficult to track. Instead of showing you the form being filled out, you just answer a bunch of random questions behind the curtain data is entered on a form without you seeing where it goes and what the effect of the entry is. I have used TurboTax and its predecessors for 40 years and it is MUCH more intuitive, and you see what is happening.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

good for general returns. Anything with an IRA is complicated and could not get to work without overrides. Retirement distributions are also challenging
Pros: Fast
Cons: Hard to import documents

Not bad, but software updates are never explained
on April 21, 2026
Posted by: Kevinski
Verified Purchase:Yes
It does the job. I have the Mac version.
My only complaints are:
1) The software has updates about every three weeks from Jan-April, right up to just before April 15. There is never any information available regarding what the update is about. Is it fixing bugs? Adding forms? This creates concern that if I file my return early (Feb or March), it might contain errors. HRBlock should clearly explain details of what’s in the updates.
2) The Backup feature never works, year after year.
