Customer Reviews for H&R Block - Tax Software Premium 2026 Download - Windows, Mac OS
Posted by: Richard Ross
Verified Purchase:Yes
The software installed fine, but would not update without crashing. This happened repeatedly, even after other updates, and it happened with both federal and state updates. In past years, this has not been a problem; this was just an issue with the 2021 software. I also had to do an amended return. The federal amended return worked well, but I was unable to amend the state return. I ended up having to amend the state return using paper forms and doing everything manually.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Had problem with efile return when primary tax payer was deceased during that tax year. Entered all info correctly and IRS rejected. May not be HR block issue but support was nil
Cons: Time consuming

H&R Block Tax Software is accurate and easy to use (despite the mess that is our country's tax system). I've been using the H&R Block software for nearly two decades and have been fully satisfied. Since I live in WA, the "state" return is not an issue (no state income tax). Some of the more exotic tax issues require a little digging (I made a "appreciated stock charitable gift" last year) but in the end the directions made sense and the resultant output appeared to match the IRS instructions. Note: I am a former licensed tax preparer.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

something about my computer and this software that isn't compatible. Every year I get that it can't be updated, to check date and time and ultimately I have to download it onto my laptop to transmit the data. I like how easy this program is to follow along but wish it could be figured out for my computer.
Pros: Easy to prepare
I would recommend this to a friend!

I was able to complete my return, but there are times when it tells you that there is a problem with something in a certain line, but then the line it is telling you to move it to is grayed out. It was your software that put it on the "incorrect line" in the first place, so how am I supposed to know where to move it to? So I think the return is correct after much tweaking, but am not 100% sure.
