5.0 out of 5 stars Great Tax program and at a great price
Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2023
I must say this product surprised me. I’ve been on the lookout for a simple and straight forward tax program for many years, but I never found one I liked at all. This program is clear and concise and well laid out and I might add, it costs a lot less than the competition. I felt comfortable using it right away. It’s tax explanations are clear and easy to understand. Maybe it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of some of the much more expensive programs but for a simple tax return for the average family, I highly recommend it.

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2023
We have used Turbo Tax for 15 years. We tried H&R Block this year as it was half the price. We were delighted to learn it pulled all the info from last year's Turbo Tax submission and we got back what we were expecting. The software was VERY easy to use and when we had a question, the customer service lady was patient, polite and very knowledgeable. We will be using H&R Block grom now on.

1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid! Your 2022 E-File Return Will Be Rejected by IRS
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2023
Writing this on Feb 2 2023. This program is unreliable and WILL result in e-files being rejected by the IRS (I'm on my third rejection right now). Stupid, stupid mistakes within the program. Despite valid data in the W-2 section, the saved and transmitted form shows '0' on line 1a Total amount from Form W-2. IRS will reject this out of hand. Can't edit the data in the program itself: no matter what you put in, it's zero on the form. Try to import a W-2 PDF and the program's too stupid to parse the employee's address properly, so that'll get flagged. Go into the form and attempt to modify the address data by hand and you'll find you cannot enter a city name containing a space character (e.g., "Elizabeth City"). Here's the instructions H&R Block provides when your return gets rejected (and it will): go to all the forms with data and check for errors. Seriously, that's their solution for their crappy, buggy software. This is beta software. I've used H&R Block software before, this will be my last time. I only hope after all the manual correction/entry I had to do, that the IRS doesn't flag my return due to H&R Block's incompetence.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, this version WILL run on windows7
Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2023
I am the person who asked "Does Basic 2022 run on Windows 7" Mike M replied "No" in response to my question and one similar question. Jer replied "yes" twice, once to me and once to the other question. I vote with Jer. So I said "What the he**" decided to do the download and it worked. The program opened up on my my reliable Windows 7 desktop. Updated the program and loaded last years tax data into the program. Works fine.

Apparently the download procedure is being modified but is still not obvious. Here's how it went for me on Jan 13.
Went to my orders. Found the order.
Clicked on "View order details"
Screen with link "View your item" appeared and I clicked on the link.
Screen with "HR Block Tax Software Basic 2022 with refund Bonus offer" appeared. Smaller type "Software download" and button "View your item" appears. Click on "View your item"
Screen with big print "HR Block Tax Software Basic 2022" appears. Further down "Download Your item" headline and below that a "product code" and below that a yellow button "Download" Click the yellow button and the software downloads for 3 or 4 minutes, Finally! Then click on the downloaded file to install on your computer. The product code is the optional activation code to use when registering your software with HR Block. I was not able to get thru this routine until an hour or so after to made my purchase of the software so maybe it takes the Amazon system a while to complete the purchase transaction and allow the download routine to load. Good luck.

5.0 out of 5 stars Many questions on how to download the software hurting the rating
Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2023
Two emails will come instantly, one for the confirmation, and another with the activation code...........although you don't really need it because when you get to the right place, it will autofill. Click on the link in the email for "Your Orders". You will have to sign in and the the order will come up. There are not obvious links for the down load, however, there are two links in the order shown, one says "Buy again" and next to is "view this item". Click view this item and everything that you need will be there, including autofilled activation number and download button.

The emailed installations took me to the product page with no download button - very misleading. To download go to your Didital Library page where you see the download button. Here is the link that worked for me. www.amazon.com/gsl
