Not happy that ai has now been incorporated into this software. AI is unreliable, and for tax decisions with actual legal consequences I will never trust it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I am regular buyer of this product and I should say it's user interface hasn't improved at all. Some of its instructions and descriptions of a particular step is not phrased well, there is no clear trail of which form.is being filled for a particular step in case I want to go check it and it's state filing portion seems more of an afterthought. On top of it all assistance is now done by an AI which fails to answer if my prompt is a little bit complicated. To get a human help costs extra money. This year I also kept getting a warning after entering my W-2 which didn't let me proceed to the next step. Unable to still figure out what was wrong with my W-2 (some warning about SSN not matching background form but as far as I can tell every detail was input correctly!).
Pros: Maximizes refund
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents
I would recommend this to a friend!

Software was adequate for basic return. Software could not handle minimum IRA distribution not taken and any related penalty. Had to manuall make correction and mail it in instead of online submission.
Pros: Fast

Federal E-File Rejection - H&R Block Deluxe 2025 software would not let me file electronically due to the following explanation from Federal E-File rejection report.....Rejection Code: FD-32-F1099R-502-02, Payer's ID does not match IRS records.... I talked with IRS and was told everything looked correct with payer's ID and ID on my return but for unknown reasons on the return was rejected. I resubmitted twice with no acceptance. IRS seemed to believe this was an issue with the software.

I was unable to import tax info for my investments at Merrill Lynch. Also unable to import from OPM for my federal pension. I was unable to clear issues with my return even though I corrected the problems. Finally I was unable to e file and be accepted by the IRS without chatting to find a work around so the program would allow it to be accepted by the IRS.
Cons: Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents
