I absolutely believe all of the one-star reviews from Mac users about installation. I've used H&R Block tax software on my Mac for years, decades really. And there have been several years where I, too, had big problems installing the software. I've even written Amazon reviews about my problems in past years as well. So those reviews here are credible.
However I'm at mid-March, late for me, in purchasing and running this software. I had no problems, so I assume H&R Block now has all of the bugs worked out. Just make sure you're running the latest version of Mac OS (I'm at 11.6.4) and make sure you do an update on the software as soon as it downloads & runs for the first time.
But for me, the software has installed & run flawlessly. I always prefer to go with H&R Block as TurboTax charges more, being the big kids on the block after all.
I did notice one odd behavior this year. And that is the software installed to my Dock. Oddly I can't find it in my Applications folder, just in the Dock. I still have the original install virtual disk mounted, and I'm going to keep it mounted until I'm done with the software. (I'm done with our taxes, but I have to do taxes for my mother-in-law as well.) I'm sure if I poke around a bit more I'd find where it actually lives (Finder does say it should be in Applications) or more to the point why the icon isn't visible. Odd, I know, but at the moment I don't have the time to solve that puzzle.
I digress. Buy the software. At this point it's safe, works well, and costs less than TT. All five stars for me.
