H&R Block Reviews
Pros
I love how quick and easy this ap is to use. It walks you through the steps of filling yourself.
Overall, this is the only software I use for my taxes because my experience has been amazing each time. I would recommend this software to everyone.
Great questionnaires and resources to go through tax prep. Audit check is excellent.
This software is very easy to deploy and very easy to use. It has a lot of features that make this software a very good value.
Cons
I was also running into some errors trying to pick up where I left off.
Well not much to complain about, other than the cost to keep my stress level low.
I used for an 1120S return and it was cumbersome and slow. The review process in the software was terrible.
Again, that's just me looking for some sort of negative.
"Handling one of only two things that are certain in everyone’s life - Tax"
Overall: I have been using H&R Block for 3 years to file my household's tax returns. It serves me well. My tax return is complicated with multiple schedules and worksheets. H&R Block software saved me a lot from having my return prepared by a tax professional.
Pros: H&R Block gets update regularly to keep up with regulation changes. The software has multiple modes: from beginner level where you can simply answer questions and the program provided a lot of guidance/helps or expert level where you have more freedom to pick and choose the appropriate schedules to fit your own needs.
Cons: The price of Premier level (include Schedule E, Rental and Schedule C, Business income) is expensive compared with other competitors.
"Very user friendly"
Overall: I used h&r block for many years. They put out a quality product that easy and simple to use. You cant get much easier to use than them. They price if fairly and have never steered me wrong
Pros: Its simple and easy to use. Very user friendly, walks you through things step by step.
Cons: Sometimes I feel like deductions are missed but for the most part its very consistent and what is missed is minimal
"H&R Block Tax Software - Quite capable but make sure you know your tax basics"
Overall: I use it to file both my personal and my self-employment tax returns. I have been using H&R Block for my returns since 2017. I am not an accountant nor a tax specialist but foolish enough to do my own returns.
Pros: Reasonably easy to use for a simple tax return.
Cons: Gets tripped up in some complicated scenarios.
"Blockworks rocks "
Pros: Their software is amazing. It's also very efficient and accurate.
Cons: The error messages generated by the software sometimes don't make sense. We have to call tech support to take care of certain issues.
"H&R block user"
Overall: Used H&R block before Turbo Tax. I liked the ease of using it
Pros: If you have a prior year return from H&R Block it populates the information. Can import w2's
Cons: You can only file 5 returns per computer. Even if you delete the software you cannot use another H&R software on the same computer.
