Not bad but worse than other H&R Block options
on April 16, 2026
Posted by: Tabbytim
from Philadelphia
Verified Purchase:Yes
The software felt clunky and tedious. I've used the browser based H&R Block system to do the same simple taxes in the past and it was faster and more streamlined. In the future I'll stick with the browser based system.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Easy & powerful as TurboTax. Want Linux version.
on April 16, 2026
Posted by: shoebear

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have been using TurboTax literally for decades -- from the early 90's pre-Windows DOS versions. I switched this year because privacy is important to me.
* Windows 11 is unacceptably invasive of my privacy, and I will not use it. I've switched all my family to Linux Mint, but I kept one PC on Windows 10 in order to run programs that require Windows.
* My tax return contains private data, and I want direct control over it. I want a locally-installed program that stores my data locally, not a web service program. Sadly, TurboTax only supports local installation on Win 11 this year -- so I went looking for an alternative that would run on Linux or at least on Win 10. I didn't find any mature, comprehensive, user-friendly options on Linux, but I did find H&R Block that would run locally on Win 10.
* I found the software just as easy to use as TurboTax, and powerful enough for my tax situation. I would give it 5 stars for my user experience, but I'm subtracting a star because it is not available natively for Linux. Yes, I could try Wine or WinBoat, etc. -- but I want a program that will run natively on Linux.

Have used your tax software for many years. It is well-organized and I like the interview approach to moving through topics. One suggestion I'd like to see for future editions: a way to enlarge the text. As I get older, I'm finding it somewhat hard to read the small text on my screen. (If you already have this option, please make it easier to find. I looked, but couldn't find anywhere I could change this.)
