Fantastic App
This app is very helpful, easy to access and quick response.
TRASH - No live support & NOW CHARGES
Always files with H&R Block but now it is forcing the deluxe option automatically without any way of changing . AI chat assistant is unhelpful and totally useless . The automated options when you call are ALSO useless ,’keeps telling you they don’t understand and when you get through it tells you the hours, which is still operational at the time of the call but just HANGS UP . TRASH . USE FREETAXUSA instead
Navigation
My only quibble so far is that when you log out and then return to the app another day, the choice to pick up where I left off doesn’t take me to where I left off. It’s difficult to pick up at the place you stopped working the day before
Wicked Good.....maybe!
Easier to read than my 1099 Forms. The 1099-R form was available after contacting help by phone. But now am humg up on the Form SSA-1099, as it is not opening or loading...not able to work any further and almost complete! Guess another morning call is in order, except a prior commitment will likely delay that contact by one day. This year must be my simplest filing ever (yes, ever!), so am frustrated with the excellent lead-in process having been disrupted twice now! Onward to Form 8606, a surprise!
Good to Decent
I like the option to keep things secure and online from year to year. The AI tool and search function for forms is great. The issue I have is this year, for the first time, I was submitting on the last day. Their servers must have been overloaded and it pre enter me from filing my taxes on time. I kept getting errors and declined transactions through the website and app. They need better or more robust server configurations and load balancing. Large fail on tax day.
Simple
Easy to use and very easy to understand
The app totally tripped up…
…at the composite 1099 stage. So I feel like this was a waste of time. Going to try something else.
Yeee
Good lookin..
Getting Worse
Every year you make it harder—repeatedly going over the same points again and again!
Session Expired while entering data
While entering my many donations, the software said my session has ended and I lost all that work.
2025 Tax Filing
This app is awesome!! You can actually file for free or choose to get pro help and pay a low amount for help. Best tax filing app!! Makes taxes so much easier!!
Will not recommend
Garbage app from a garbage company. Selected to have my refund sent via check and they decided to try and send it to my bank account without my consent and said it’s my fault for not providing bank information when I requested a CHECK IN THE FIRST PLACE!
Not bad, does the job
It’s interesting how you have to have the word “VARIOUS” in all caps when doing charitable contributions. It should be able to carry over your AGI from your 2024 return. It’s a bit cheesy that since you use their software to do your previous return that you have to enter these manually on this year’s.
Not Happy
I needed to file for my son who has been using H&R Block for years! I needed help and talked texted with an agent. Guess it was too complicated for him and I literally didn’t receive any help! I’ll go to TurboTax! Sad!!
Limited
The app does not recognize living at an address in Puerto Rico as living in the US. It asks me if I lived in the US making things very complicated. Also, tried using virtual pro and they want me to pay before letting me review the draft. Who does that?
Fast, Easy, and Stress-Free Tax Filing Experience
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ H&R Block Tax Prep made filing my taxes much easier than I expected. The app was simple to use, well organized, and guided me step by step through the entire process. I appreciated how clear the instructions were and how it helped me feel confident that everything was done correctly. It saved me time, reduced stress, and made tax season feel much less overwhelming. I would definitely recommend H&R Block Tax Prep to anyone looking for a convenient and reliable way to file taxes.
Barely functional
App is a broken mess
Was good not now
For the first time since doing my own taxes. I owe. The program won’t allow me to claim head of house hold. I’m the main income earner and the head of the house hold. Keeps kicking it out. The only way you can get help is if you pay for their service. I’m not paying for you to fix your glitchy program.
Free Filing and Easy Filing
Very easy to use online. Only took an hour or so for my simple retirement situation. I ponyed up the $34 to import data from last year to make it easier and hopefully more accurate. Thanks H&R!
I don’t see a point to this app.
What’s the point of me downloading an app that is going to force me to open a web browser in order to finish my tax returns? Like if you’re going to make me sign into your website directly, then I should just go straight to your website. This app is pointless.
Deceptive behaviour
You spend hours filling the forms and then they log you out and demand biometrics for you to access your forms. Phone, email, and any identifiable information is not enough. They also share your data with Google and Meta as per their privacy policy
2025 app
Very difficult to move around in the app. Hard to go back to edit. Several times started at the beginning to get to section I wanted to edit. Probably good if you have 100% of your information, don’t have to edit or make a correction. Not my favorite.
First, your tax preparer
I really like this software out of all of them that I've used for personal taxes.
If HSA you HAVE to get Deluxe and pay for State filing
I now have to buy the deluxe version just because I have HSA on my W2. And since I didn’t start with the Deluxe, I now have to pay for State filing! I am taking the standard deduction. No other special situations apply. They should allow you to buy Deluxe with free state filing while in the app!!! What a rip off! Turbo Tax next year!
Buggy and user UN-friendly
Sloppy app with many bugs. Plus they won’t give the discount in their email link. Stay away.
I used them every year
Very pleased
Scam artists
They are drifters and do everything they can to get money out of you
2025 Taxes
Easy to do and they check your W-2s for you on tips and overtime
Indifference
TOTALLY DISGUSTED!! I’ve been using H&R Block online for years. This is the first time I have decided to do a negative review. I hit the pro tax help button by mistake and it added an additional charge to my account. I tried to delete this and there is no way to delete it. This is not fair. I had to delete the entire record which removed the previous year’s information and now I have to start over inputting everything.
HR Tax
Easy to use and accurate. Love Emile
Can’t add where foreign tax paid. So can’t finish.
Hello turbo tax!
Awesome way to file taxes
So easy to use and saved me between $900 - $1200 in accountant fees. Thank you
Terrible
Horrible
