H&R Block Tax Software Deluxe 2025 for Windows and Mac (Digital Download)

I have used Block for awhile. I feel like it keeps getting dumbed down. I like standalone pc program. I want it to have all the options. I don't want to review my return with someone. Then I want better future planning built on the current year figures. I don't need to start over figuring out what I might have for income in retirement. I will not be using Microsoft or Apple products anymore. I want a Linux option for the PC program.

I purchased the H&R Block Deluxe 2025 tax preparation software due to the product I previously used no longer supported my computer platform. I was pleasantly impressed with the easy of the H&R tax software. It was actually much more straight forward in progressing through the steps of my tax preparation. I would recommend this to my friends and family.

Software wrongly changed an entry from 100% to 1% on the electronic filing for my state return! (Yes, the entry was correct in program and as evidenced on the PDF printout for the return). 1-star review because if you can't rely on the software to accurately submit your return, what good is it!?!

You have an excellent product that I have used for literally decades. Most of the software is intuitive. But this year i had to pay on both the state and federal levels. This process was quite confusing to me and I'm still not sure I did it right. I paid someone. Hopefully the right people.

I've been using the software for more than 5 years. This year was the least pleasant of all. 1) I'm on their mailing list. When I got the email to buy this years version, it was supposed to be the best available price. It was available online for less from other vendors. 2) it was unreliable early in January. I entered one return twice and it crashed out before I decided to wait a week for an update. 3) updates were happening after I filed. Did the updates change my taxes? Who knows? 4) charging me to file my state taxes has been an issue the whole time. Why isn't that included? 5) When I tried to pay online using my credit card, they wanted to charge a percentage of the amount. It wasn't ovbvious til I got too far in that that corporate tax on my federal tax would be happening. I wasn't able to back out and pay by check online. I ended up printing and mailing my return. Overall, I'm inclined to look elsewhere for next years return.

the online help services really made this a terrible experience. i wasted a lot of time. thankfully, i could use AI chat tools to address my questions. in addition, you need improvement with the software navigation as it relates to handing the nuisances of RSUs, ESPP and NQSOs. Thirdly, K1 filings left me feeling less confident regarding proper tax filing for equities based limited partnerships. Your software seems to set preference for real estate based LPs.

I am a veteran user of this product. Several years without experiencing any issues. It is very user friendly. Previously I would have rated the software with 4 or 5 stars. However, this year I did experience a problem. After completing my return, I later (after e-filing) and looking over my printed copy found an error which will result in the need to file an amended return. My downloaded dividends were enterer twice which inflated my AGI. The review phase did not catch the error.

For the second year in a row I was not able to file electronically and ended up having to print my return and mail it. The program kept giving a reason for the rejection as a problem with AGI from prior year. yet numerous checks confirmed that entered values were the same.

I have used H&R block for many years and was happy with the ease of use. Not this year! It kept flagging the gross distribution amounts on several 1099R forms when the amounts were exactly as issued. I called for help and after about 45 minutes of trying everything, gave up. I restarted the program and began from scratch - only to get the same flagged results. I had to print and manually file. I still haven't heard back from either state or federal IRS regarding the letter I sent them.

It does most things well but I found 1 problem. If you overlook assigning a royalties worksheet copy number after entering royalty income in the K-1 input questions for Partnerships and S-Corporations income, it treats royalty income as zero and it does not warn you that you goofed. An acquaintance had to file an amended return because he filed his return before he noticed that.
