1.0 out of 5 stars Personal imports from TurboTax but Business does not and must be entered manually. Poor support.
Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2024
I was hoping for a better option instead of TurboTax. Unfortunately, at this time H&R Block wasn't a good option for me in my opinion.

TurboTax has gotten greedy in my opinion, and also now requires an online account to use their software. TurboTax also doesn't import from other tax programs. So once you go somewhere else you can't easily go back.

First, I ordered to receive the H&R Block software by mail, expecting a CD. I like CD's so I can easily reinstall in the future in case it becomes necessary. Nope, no CD. Instead they mail you the install code and you still have to go online to download the software. So sending this by mail only delays your ability to install by download. You also need to set up an account online to register.

Next, the install wasn't obvious. The download and installation directions were incomplete. It only installed the personal version. On Amazon, for some people it installs the business version first. Thast's confusing! I had to do research on their website and with support, but there was no available information. Their techs weren't even knowledgeable about it. It was a mystery! I had to ask the Amazon community for suggestions. Turns out it has to be downloaded and installed twice to get both versions!

The description about the H&R Block software was that you could import from TurboTax. Unfortunately, that's only true for their personal version, not their business version. Their personal version did appear to import relatively easily and properly. Again, for the business version, answers from their website and phone support were not there. Phone connections and conversations were poor. Their automated phone system is tedious and circular with no answers. It was difficult to get to a real person. I think I finally got past it by using "00#", but then was on hold for a long time. When on hold, there is no background music or message, so you have to wait and hope you are still connected.

One agent finally spent a long time reading through all of her available information while I was on the phone to her. She couldn't find out how to import into the business version either. She had to escalate the problem. A few days later I finally receive a phone call and their answer was that business information has to be imported manually. That can be a lot of effort for a business. I assume once entered it will import into following years if you continue to use their software, but that could be incorrect.

I missed the free return period in Amazon. Since I wasn't very happy, I requested a refund. Turns out they want your personal information, including sensitive information like your SS# and birth date in order to process a refund. I'm not happy about that. You can send it in by email or mail. Then, after receiving your information, it takes 4-6 weeks to get a refund check by mail.

If you are new to income tax software, H&R Block may be a good alternative. Since I haven't really used it, I can't be certain. You will not be able to easily switch from one manufacturer to any other manufacturer. The personal version does appear to import easily from TurboTax, but not the business version.

I was hoping for better results, but was disappointed. I don't like to give negative reviews but felt this information should be shared. I couldn't rate accuracy and actual ease of use, since I haven't actually used it. Maybe they will improve with time.

I hope this review provides some useful information to potential users.

Does what I need it it to do, but a far cry from 25 years ago when it had videos explaining each section and where to find info. Now it’s, click the help button and it points you to the IRS form instructions (if you pick the winning help topic). Can’t give 5 stars, but it is better than the last 3 year versions which I rated 2 and 3.

3.0 out of 5 stars Its not horrible, its not great. It is a great price.

Most of the time I use TurboTax for personal and corporate taxes. Every few years I take the time to do them the old fashioned way with a pencil and calculator. This software is somewhere between the two. It is lacking the polish of Turbo Tax, but it works. The personal software has more polish than the business (corporation) one. The forms are easy to get to. There are some quirks that I did not like, but I will hold off any negative opinions for now as its the first year I've used the program and I may just need to get used to it.

Tech support is lacking. It takes forever for them pick up - many, if its anything other than the easiest of questions, will just transfer you. I lost count of the number of times I was transferred. You are on hold while they contact "engineers" after each question. After spending 2.5 hours on the phone with them, I get transferred to someone who says "What color is the error?", I say "orange", they say "Oh, you can just ignore that".

The price is great, and the software is well worth the price. I will definitely give it a second try next year and see how it goes.

1.0 out of 5 stars Premium & Business 2023 software couldn't do a business LLC partnership return
Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2024
H&R Block website and other online references said that this version works for Partnership LLCs to create K1s, but after carefully downloading and installing, I found it could have possibly imported TurboTax Personal tax files, but zero way to important a 1065 TurboTax Business tax file. That was a large red flag but then even when I decided to start a fresh return, it would only giving filing statuses for individuals such as married/divorced, etc. Where were the business tax options?

I contacted support and they verified I downloaded the correct version and my license key was available for the Premium Business version, so they were also dumbfounded. Our support session ended-up getting mysteriously disconnected and I had still found no options to start a Partnership LLC tax return, so gave up and purchased/went back to TurboTax.

Sad waste of time.

Even worse is H&R offers a 60 day money back guarantee of their own, but I quickly found out I had to give them my SSN to process that manual refund. That makes zero sense besides for fraud tracking purposes which they weren't very forthcoming about until I pressed the question. Ultimately, I just decided to eat the $50 since having my full name, address, phone, and SSN on some internal H&R Block SSN list/Excel spreadsheet that all or too many in their support may have easy access to is something I can live without. I wonder if their tracking of SSN's for refunds is PCI-compliant???

The people I talked to were all pretty friendly at least, besides their supervisors that failed to call back and gave bad info to their front-line customer service folks a number of times and hid behind no method for me to contact them direct or be transferred. Found those facets of H&R support to be the most frustrating parts of a joke of a company/product. During the multiple calls regarding how to utilize their money back guarantee, exactly zero people asked about the technical problem or how they can improve the software to avoid this refund request. Possibly they knew how bad their software is, so didn't even bother?
