Will be Switching to TurboTax Premium
on February 14, 2026
Posted by: TurboTax Premium
from NE
Love your program and have been a loyal H&R Block Premium customer for nearly two decades, but this will likely be the last year I use your product. Why? My computer is a Mac Book Pro. I have dedicated a portion of my HD to run Windows and that's how I've used your product all of these years. Mac OS typically updates for free. Every time you folk update your program to work with the newest version of MS Windows, I must purchase the newest version of Windows, which is inferior to Mac OS. Anyway, the hidden cost makes the annual purchase of Tax Cut exceedingly more expensive. So this year, to save on the Windows cost, for the F1041, I need to file, I'll be switching to Turbo Tax; and moving forward, I'll use their Premium program. Always assumed you'd eventually make a version for Mac OS, but you never did; so I'm leaving.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love the program!

Love the program! Have used it for the last several years and have had no problems with it!! I didn"t give it 5 stars this year because of all the printing options. They are very confusing for someone who liked the very nice printing options from years past.
Pros: Easy to prepare
I would recommend this to a friend!

Disappointed - user interface, capabilities
on February 12, 2026
Posted by: Kurt 2025
from denver colorado
Imported a pdf to get my information in. The program did not recognize capital loss carryforwards from 2024 and it did not provide any worksheets showing short term capital loss carryforwards for 2025 going into 2026.
I have an issue with a K1, the box 13 A is blocking me from filing - it is legit - was created in HR block business software - but throwing an error, saying I can't e-file if I keep this in here - it is a cash donation - I have to think this is a common circumstance. Compared to Turbotax or Free Tax USA that I used for my college aged kids, this is very clunky, hard to navigate, has a poor user interface.... I will not use it next year.

2025 TaxCut has some issues
on February 11, 2026
Posted by: happyreturns2025
I was disappointed in the 2025 TaxCut. First, I did not receive email updates about filing status UNTIL six days after I'd submitted my Federal return. Then I got an email that my return had been submitted and had been REJECTED. But it had been accepted six days earlier. Second, there should be a warning about checking IDs created each year by the IRS before submitting the Federal return.

Pitiful - switched from TurboTax and regretted it.
on February 11, 2026
Posted by: how29
from Spotsylvania VA
This was not a good experience. I switched from TurboTax due to downloading difficulties (used to get a TT CD in a box but now have to download it and couldn't) and regretted it. First of all, it did not easily transfer my 2024 TurboTax files as advertised; 2 - it was difficult to navigate (to go back to a specific 2025 line item without having to page through the return again, and yes, I did try using the search function), and 3 filing was a mess and still is. Specifically, I finished and submitted my Fed return on 2/2, but I did not receive an acknowledgement of that until today, 2/11 (TT always replied the same day). After submitting my federal return I received a late 1099G and immediately created a revised return to reduce my refund due to the late 1099G, since the IRS would now be paying me too much based on my first return. I attempted to send this return and it wouldn't HRBlock wouldn't let me submit it, stating that the SW for revised returns was not yet ready and telling me to check for updates. The promised update on 2/6 said to wait for the next update on 2/13. Meanwhile my now erroneous original return is in the hands of the IRS and based on how fast my 2024 return came last year, I'm worried that I might get a refund before they receive my revised return, which I hope will not lead to a penalty which the chat lady at HRB said could happen (I think she was wrong). But with that in mind, I decided to print my revised return and mail; however, the HRB SW would not let me print it, stating (again) that the SW to process the revised return was not yet ready. So what has always been very straightforward in the past has turned into a real problem this year with HR Block.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to import documents
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It used to be that an eighth grader could prepare a return. These days it takes a rocket scientist do prepare a return . . . .
