H&R Block Tax Prep: File Taxes for Positive User Reviews
✓ Reliable, Quick and Easy, Tax Consultant SupportI enjoy using H&R Block to file my taxes. I have used H&R Block software for several years and before that their TaxCut software. Being able to do your tax return and home is a major plus. Much better than gathering all your documents together and going to an account or tax prep office. The app or software guide you through in a quick and easy process. I use the Deluxe edition to itemize my taxes and I’m typically finished within two hours. I also like the H&R Block app or software maximizing the amount I receive in my tax return by providing yes or no questions and, select all that apply check boxes. After answering the question, you are taken directly to the sections that apply specific to your situation. As you move quickly along, the app or software show you a real-time total of the return or owe amount. I also like the option to have a live tax consultant available to me 7/24 and a representative with me if I were to be audited. Thank you H&R Block for making a typical stress for task quick and easy from start to e-file with a tax refund in my bank account with around a week to ten days!.Version: 7.7.1
✓ RefiThe section covering re-financing needs work. It needs to be more clear on the data entry as I had points on the old loan which were being amortized. With the new refi, I should be able to claim the remainder of the points that had not been claimed. Then with the new loan, any points paid should also be logged for future amortization. I couldn’t tell if the info I was providing for the old and new loans was being applied correctly. Also didn’t see a means to record donated items. First time doing my taxes on the IPAD. I would have to say the PC version I used in the past was better..Version: 11.6.0
✓ First time using an app for taxesI have been using an accountant for a number of years and was paying over $400 for my tax preparation and it usually took the accountant several weeks to get to my taxes after I dropped off the documents. I was able to complete my taxes within a few hours while watching tv, and it only cost me $50 for using a deluxe version of the app. It was easy to use, and I was able to load a pdf directly to the app for investment accounts. I had no problems navigating back and forth through the app, and there were typically explanations for the various questions asked. I will use this app again in the future..Version: 8.2.0
✓ First Time MyselfThe reason I greatly appreciated this online service by H&R Block was because of its simple easy to understand language and step-by-step process. There were frequent places along the way where I could have obtained additional information or answers to my questions if I had needed that help. I had not filed my own tax returns in a great number of years, since my financial situation had been so complicated. Therefore I had used an in-office tax service, also with H&R Block with which I had been pleased. Because of that I was really dreading doing this by myself this year when my life had finally become simpler. I was pleasantly surprised however, and very satisfied with the process and the price..Version: 9.8.0
✓ First year from TurboTaxThis was my first year using HR Block software after using TurboTax for the past 5 years and I’ve got to say I definitely love the HR Block app much more than turbos. Filing this year was even easier than past years somehow and the software is so much easier to navigate. I switched to them after seeing their customer service when the IRS messed everyone’s stimulus checks up. TurboTax customer service was nonexistent. I don’t believe anyone will be disappointed choosing HR Block, but then again I’ll let you know in a few weeks how my return goes ;).Version: 10.4.0
✓ Convenience is key.It’s not hard to take a photo of your w2. Putting a few details about yourself etc. Have options for direct deposit or getting check by mail. It’s not a bad service. They try pushing their programs that cost money. I went free all the way. I want to try that and see how that works out for me. I spent 60 dllrs last yr with an accountant where the government really doesn’t need us to do our taxes. So this whole process is stupid but it’s the law of the land, I have to comply and H&R made it simple and convenient. Can’t ask for much more. Happy to be done with it but I’ll be happy and reporting back later depending on hiccups or errors etc. For now, is a thanks to the people that worked on this app in the name of this company. I’m a happy camper..Version: 8.3.0
✓ Easiest way to file State & Federal Income Taxes!!!!!I am 150% satisfied w/this app. I couldn’t believe how helpful & very very easy filing income taxes on this site. I e-filed my 2018 federal & state taxes in less than an hour. I recommend using this site 100%. especially since i did not pay a penny to e-file state & federal, completely free to file taxes, & there are also other options that charge fees, what works best for you this site has. I e-filed right from my smartphone, no computer needed, all done right on phone, very convenient. This site deserves 5+ star rating, So thankful I found this site & how easy & helpful filing taxes was for me this year..Version: 8.3.0
✓ Tried and trueI have used this app for the past 6 years, and truly appreciate the ease of use. It gives me the ability to work on what info I have, or have time for, and return to it later. I’m not sitting in a cubicle for several hours while the tax pro does my data entry. It’s a huge time saver and time efficient manager for me. I truly feel like the questions are easy to understand and if not, there’s an option to click and learn more. Brilliant! I’m a loyal customer and I tell all my friends and family to use this app for themselves. One last praise for the Stride app that is offered. It’s awesome! Such a great, easy, convenient way to keep my numbers in check all year without a shoebox of receipts I can’t manage! Thank you!.Version: 9.3.0
✓ Simple easy to use . But …..Like on the review title I added Simple , easy to use because it is . Step by step the app guides you through the process . But hopefully in the future there will be options for a refund advance loan without having to go to the actual HR branch locations . That part I do not like since I’m doing the tax preparation with HR block online but in order to get the quick advance I would need to visit the hr block branch ? That means I would have to file with someone there and it takes the doing your own taxes away that I did with help from HR block assistance. So hopefully next year would be more better.Version: 13.1.1
✓ Thank you H&R Me and my family thank you!!!Thank you H&R Block for your protection all year round. For your awesome prices, I’ve been going through you since 2018 and I wouldn’t turn my back on you even if someone offered their services free of charge. Your tax professional’s that you have onboard are the most caring, knowledgeable, Understanding, patient and speedy individual’s I have ever experienced since I started filing my taxes. I went through my first 7 years of filing my taxes unsatisfied, worried if someone will get ahold of my child or my information. Worrying about getting audited and having no money for representation or no one by my side to help fight the IRS. But not no more thanks to you H&R Block I can be at peace all year Round and Me and my family from the bottom of our heart’s Thank you. All of my sister & brother’s and Mother Go through you!!! And we wouldn’t change it if you paid us!!!😉😊.Version: 11.5.0
✓ Simple the bestH&R Block really come through for me. This app works great. It was really easy to use. I was able to chat with a live tax pro instantly win there was something I didn’t understand. It was my first time attempting to do my taxes on line so I was worried about using the app but I’m now 100% confidant in doing my taxes online. I tried a few other apps and ran into road blocks but I completed it with H&R Block. I believe they found every last penny I had coming back to me. My refund is better than it’s been in past years and they were 70% cheaper than my last tax service. I should have tried there site earlier. I’ll be using them again next year. Thank you for getting me a nice big refund!.Version: 10.6.0
✓ Making things a little easierThe app gives those with simple tax returns a quick and easy way to file. The only downsides to the app are the same ones I’ve always had when filing on a full desktop page for the last 8 years. The navigation doesn’t always work causing you to have to restart sections and there are some instances where it doesn’t quite understand your specific tax situation so you have to select different answers to get the result you need to have an accurate tax return (which is difficult if you don’t know what you need and just rely on their software to be correct or faq/chat to guide you). It also tries to constantly upsell you to a higher product but they are a business and this happens on the full website and in person so I didn’t expect to not be upsold to..Version: 12.2.0
✓ Outstanding tools and very user friendly!I’ve used H&R Block software for years and to my amazement each year they develop new tools that make tax preparation a breeze. This tax year I used their online product and by just answering the on screen questions it’s like a tax preparer was sitting next to me. Within about 20 minutes or so my taxes were completed and in less than 20 hours the IRS had accepted my return! Keep up the great work “Block” and I’ll be back next year! BTW I just downloaded your app for my cell phone and love it especially the ability to check my refund status at the IRS!.Version: 9.3.0
✓ Fairly good companyI’ve always love H&R Block because it does seem like they didn’t have your back. The only thing that I have a problem with as I never get discounts. The way they claim I’m going to get and I’ve been with you guys for over 10 years filing self-employment still no discounts well actually they did a $25 discount which took my grand total to $65 but they always tell you about this $35 thing that you get but I’ve never got it maybe I just misunderstood it but I think it should be already put on your account especially being that I’ve been with H&R Block so many years I still believe they’re good company I just believe the prices are a little bit too high for filing especially with the pandemic, so many things have been going on with the economy this year especially had some type of deal for their customers have a heart H&R Block and where it was easy to file self-employment it’s a little harder now he did seem difficult when I first started, but then I now they changed it up to many and I know it’s just to help people but sometimes it makes a little bit difficult. Thank you God bless..Version: 12.2.0
✓ Fantastic Service, quick, efficient, quality and reassuringThis app is extremely user friendly. It walks you through literally every scenario. If you don't understand something, you can click on a link below what you're looking at for more information. If you still have questions there is another section of frequently asked questions. If you Still need assistance there is a chat available with many options, as well as chatting with a live person. Beyond that if you still have questions (depending on what type of return you choose) you're able to email, message, chat with or speak with a live Professional Tax Return representative. The customer service is amazing, efficient, friendly, professional and prompt service. The price is affordable and fair. I saved a ton of time, money and stress by being able to use this app and self service but with the Peace of Mind knowing that not only the system looked over my work, but that it was double checked by a live human being. And I have the reassurance of knowing H&R Block has my back if any issues arise or if there's any type of IRS audit. Just an overall exceptional service..Version: 11.5.0
✓ Great tax filerH&R Block is a great tax filing option the ease-of-use makes it very simplified it’s very informative and guides you through the whole process my only complaint would be when you try to snap a photo of your W-2 it doesn’t register very well it took several attempts before the picture actually registered and when you enter the EIN if the people are partners with H&R Block it will automatically upload your w2 but I noticed it uploaded the wrong information as well as when I snapped a photo and I had to go in and manually correct it which isn’t a big deal but had I not noticed I could’ve entered the wrong information in my tax return otherwise it’s an all-around good choice to file your taxes.Version: 10.5.0
✓ Glad I switchedI’d been using TurboTax for the last two years and was sick of having to pay to e-file everything together despite being free. I searched around and saw that H&R Block had good ratings and their free was really free. Admittedly, I was rather hesitant about trying a new product and was worried it would be a pain. H&R made it super simple and pain free. The only problem I had was my Walmart W-2 but that largely because Walmart prints them out weird. H&R only asked about the premium once which was fine because they have bills to pay too. However, they didn’t nag or pressure me like TurboTax would. I felt like my taxes were in good hands. I’m glad I made the switch and I’ll definitely use this product from now on..Version: 9.4.0
✓ The app was way to use. Navigating was easy as well. It’s worth the moneyI have used HRB for years since doing my own taxes. It's simple to use and keeps my records from previous years making it even easier. But, this year it requires an updated version and when you select "continue" to update it takes you to the login screen but never updates to the new version. It's frustrating to continue going in and out, back and forth to the App Store but I'm done now and ready to file. Please correct this and you'll be absolutely wonderful... Thanks.Version: 9.5.0
✓ First Time Filing Taxes, EverI wanted to start filing my taxes, and after looking around, I found H&R Block. I’d read negative reviews on other e-filing apps like Turbo Tax and TaxSlayer, and was a little skeptical of H&R at first too, but my mom said H&R seemed the most decent of the three. I don’t make anything big, and I didn’t use any special features, so my filing form was the free one. I can’t speak for anything made for high files, but for a first-time tax payer like myself, it works just great. Used the app on an iPad and didn’t have any major troubles, except that I had to close in an out of the app maybe once, but after that I didn’t experience any other hiccups..Version: 9.6.0
✓ I Never Saw Myself Reviewing Tax-Filing Software……At least not positively! But I’ll admit, they got me. I’ve been bouncing back and forth between them and TurboTax for years, usually going with whoever gets me the biggest net return. But something has seemingly changed philosophically with H&R’s (who usually wins anyways) software. It felt as though they made the process significantly easier, quicker, and painless. It took me maybe 15 minutes at most. It’s genuinely just good UI and a well-functioning platform. I was perhaps most impressive, though, by the fact that they seemingly aren’t trying as anymore hard to trick you into unnecessarily buying the premium version. It asked me, but provided straightforward responses to choose from, which is a departure from H&R and TurboTax over the past several years..Version: 13.1.1
✓ Definitely preferredBefore I submitted my taxes, I used both H&R and the other main competitor to see which one was easiest and whether the refund would match. All I have is a W2 and a 1098-E (for paying off my student loans) and I consider my taxes to be pretty simple. I noticed two main differences. 1- if you’ve filed on-line before and you’re taxes are simple to a little less simple, H&R is all you need. They ask important questions to make sure you have the right forms and they make it easy to ask questions or to get a definition. The other competitor asked pretty much all questions. One question at a time. Name? Type and confirm. Address. Type and confirm. Over and over agin. H&R provides it in fill-out form which takes A LOT less time. 2- the only “special” part of my taxes are student loans. And the other competitor does not supply the form to file for free, hence $25 for one form and all these add-one that I don’t want or need. A form that is still free on H&R. So, if you’re a student filing your taxes, choose H&R Block..Version: 9.3.0
✓ I will never use TurboTax again!I was able to complete my taxes, both state and Federal, and file them for free; an option that TurboTax didn’t seem to offer me. The software was easy to use, clearly explained all deductions and benefits, and for the first time in years, my tax return preparation was a breeze! This year’s filing should have been more difficult. I had retirement income, unemployment income and employment income, plus property taxes all to take into consideration. Filing was a piece a cake! I am extremely happy with HR block, and will never use anything else!.Version: 10.7.0
✓ No Way to PrintThe filing process worked pretty good. This is my second year using it for my taxes so I am familiar with the app. I usually file manually or through an accountant. I would like to see more information available for deductions. For instance, mileage and mileage rates. Aside from that, the biggest flaw that I cannot find a solution for, is that I see no way to print from my phone. When you follow the option to print tax forms or your receipt it loads them both to your screen fine. But, there’s no print button. I have a wireless printer that I use all the time with other apps and thought it would be that easy. Apparently, that part of the app was never finished before release. Now I cannot get a hard copy of my return. At least I chose the e-file option so I was able to complete my return. Please fix this. With the print feature repaired I am changing my rating. Thanks for the quick response..Version: 7.6.0
✓ Easy to Files TaxesAs long as you follow step by step and self educate on the basics, it is easy to use and not difficult to file your taxes by yourself! I recommend for college students or for low income individuals/families who need their taxes done and would like to receive a refund free of charge instead of other tax pro offices. The app is easy to follow and if you do need help from a tax pro you can easily access additional help for a fee online as you work on your taxes from home. Compared to other tax professionals, I trust H&R Block as a result of first starting with a simple office visit for my first time doing taxes independently. Their tax pros are very professional, hardworking, and courteous. It’s also convenient if you don’t have time and your finances aren’t too outstanding and difficult, you can use the chat to get additional help for a fee right at the comfort of your home or wherever you decide to finish your taxes on any device (computer, tablet, or mobile device). If you’re busy, introverted (like me), or have very low income, I trust H&R Block whether I’m filing my own tax using the app or going in for an office appointment. Saves time and filing is easy. I also like that they have many different tax pros and it shouldn’t be hard to find a tax pro that you’ll trust and keep coming back to for assistance with tax returns..Version: 12.2.0
✓ Prices need to go down especially with the pandemicI love H&R Block I will always use it the only thing that I am upset about is every time they say they’re going to give me a discount this is almost 3 years in a row and pulse get like a $20 discount and they never applied it I feel that’s wrong because I am a real repeat customerGod bless pray everybody safeAlso I feel you guys price it should be cheaper especially with the pandemic they definitely should be cheaper even before the pandemic came but you are easy and you guys do care about your customers now care about our pockets to.Version: 10.4.0
✓ Lack of customer supportNormally I love H&R Block. I’ve been using them for years. I even used to go into the office and had them done in person. But this time was ridiculous... I accidentally selected the wrong plan. I selected premium when all I really needed was plus and you can downgrade but someone from the tech department or whatever has to reach out to you and they wipe the slate clean and you have to start over. The only problem is your sitting in chat hold and if you set your phone down for a second and your screen times out or you accidentally lock the screen it closes out the chat que and you have to start the whole process over. One time I was in the air and finally got 3rd in line and a message came up saying chat service was closed. Are you kidding me??? It wasn’t worth the headache to save $25 so I just kept the Premium plan. I was planning on buying a couple of their up sales at the end but decided against it since I already over paid..Version: 8.3.0
✓ Very user friendlyThis is the first time I’m filing my own taxes, I’m sure with a tax pro I could have made a 100 or so more dollars for my refund, but then again I’d be spending that to pay him/her. As long as you enter accurate information or just take a picture of your W2’s, it really does all the hard work for you, it does not push the extra sale too hard, but they need to make money so I get there will be fees, I paid about 60 for everything and my refund was what I believe it should be. Definitely recommend using this app. Almost nothing is 100% free, I definitely preferred it to turbo tax..Version: 9.3.1
