5.0 out of 5 stars Does the job great
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2022
I've used H&R Block software, now, for at least 10 years. I appreciate it does its work and doesn't put effort into upselling me and pushing other products or services much.

It imports carryovers from prior years flawlessly, allows flexible access, is pretty rock-solid all around.

Could use a bit of user interface refreshment that seems to have gone by the wayside as functionalities have evolved, and internal documentation/definition/links to IRS pages could be a zillion times better; but all in all, this tool is a solid and simple hammer to use for sometimes not-so-simple situations.

We do a Schedule C, but only buy Deluxe, 'cause that's just fine for what we need. We e-Filed this year, as it's supposed to be the patriotic thing to do or something with current backlogs easier to address, and after two calls to the support folks realized it's a FIVE digit secret code, and FOUR won't cut it, e-File won my vote for easiest filings ever.

It really only deserves a 4 star, due to its clunky coverage of topics I personally want to understand better; but it gets a 5 in comparison to the competition, which I'd give a 3-minus to. FYI

I'm a do-it-yourselfer on most things - I have no qualms buying and recommending H&R Blocks tax software. I don't know about their claims overall, but I do know my taxes are solid, everything's covered properly, I feel confident, and they don't push me to buy more stuff.

Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2024
We used to use TurboTax, but they changed the feature tiers and effectively raised our price. The version we wanted became very expensive, and we decided to try H&R Block. I think that it's as easy to use as our old TurboTax; my wife thinks H&R Block is easier to use. And it's cheaper. In any case, this happened several years ago, and we're happy that we tried a new product.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use - priced appropriately- Get from Amazon - slight issue with state program help descrip
Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2022
If you buy from Amazon I understand you can download the app again in the future - whereas if you buy direct from H&R Block they charge you to download in the future which is not good. The Federal program goes pretty good each year. There are a few forms (ie. 5498) that I get in the mail and it's not clear by the H&R Block program where it goes, but a google search tells you that form 5498 is not needed (the google search top result comes from a competitor to this program - so I would think after all these years they'd add it to H&R Block help...).
As for my state portion, download and electronic file is fine, but I'm not convinced that the results are 100% accurate as I always owe on State, but get a refund on Federal - and this year the program stated I get Business Income Deduction and asked for #s which no help around it. After googling it and finally calling the state IRS to ask - it turns out you need to own a business and have a loss for that. There was no details nor help sufficient to know if that section applied nor what amounts to put in but it seemed to think I qualified. Investigating the "Whole Form", It pointed back to a Schedule C of the Federal 1040 - which I didn't have - so must be a bug in the program...? Anyway - cost me a few hours of searching. And due to these 2 items on State, I'm not convinced they spent enough time on my state program to feel confident I'm getting the right treatment & full/correct credits, etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite
Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2021
I have used this program for so many years back that I can't even remember when I started....way back when it used to be called "TaxCut". Never had a problem with the IRS regarding the submitted forms. The program is very easy to use and intuitive as well. If you can read, you can understand it and if you have the information at hand (receipts, numbers, etc.), there would be no reason you could not do your own taxes with this program and put the money in your pocket that you would otherwise pay a tax preparer. Based upon your answers, all of the necessary forms are filled out eliminating the guesswork of which ones are needed.

When I was younger my wife and I had rather complicated returns involving situations that included not only our normal personal information but included self-employment information as well....this program handled it perfectly every year.

The program that I always buy is the "deluxe" which includes free state software as well and since you need it anyway, I feel that it is the best bargain. Starting early in December, I begin to daily check the prices of the download version on Amazon and invariably I end up buying it at about half the price that it is originally listed for when it first comes out. I usually purchase it for somewhere in the mid-twenties every December. Don't let the fear of the IRS scare you out of doing your own taxes....this program is a breeze.

5.0 out of 5 stars It is the only tax software I use
Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2022
I like the ease of going from one year to the next without putting in a lot of data. I like the price. I like that I can do 5 federal taxes for the price of one software purchase. I like the explanations when I am not sure what needs to go into certain fields. I like the ease of switching from one topic to another. I like the review at the end that lets me know that, given what I have done, everything is accurate. I like that they let me know when the forms have been accepted and if there are any problems.
What don't I like? Well If it was free I would like it even better but life doesn't work that way.
