" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 February 19, 2026 Overall I enjoy H&R Block and it's representatives that come behind it. I filed my taxes for 5 years now with them in a row. Pros What I love most about H&R Block is that I can speak to a live agent anytime when needing help with filing. Cons What I like least about H&R Block is the price. It can be very very pricey even when filing a simple return. Switched from [TurboTax Business](https://www.capterra.com/p/179846/TurboxTax-Business/) I enjoy being safer with H&R Block knowing I have extra security features as well.

DS Dena S. Vice President Construction ### "Premium & Business Windows Desktop version" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 2.0 2.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 2.0 2.0 Likelihood to Recommend 5/10 February 17, 2026 I've use a version of the tax software for over 10 years. usually the Premium & Business version. There are usually issues every year, however I have also tried a competitor's software which was a lot worse. Don't expect much help from H&R Block. My experience has been that they know very little about the desktop version of the Premium & Business and have not been much help with software issues and bugs. I've found better help from ChatGPT. The cost is minimal and it gets the job done, but it could definitely be better. My guess is that the online version is less buggy, but I can't tolerate the interface. There is completely different application for the 1040 form taxes. It is also challenging and buggy at times. Pros The software helps make sure that no new tax laws are missed. Includes electronic filing for some returns. I like the desktop version because the interface seems written for an adult... the online version less so. The software picks up the previous year's return and populates the current return. Cons The desktop version doesn't seem to get much attention, I suspect they are phasing it out. Getting the software installed is challenging. I've run into permission issues and other complicated problems. Support is typically not helpful. In the review phase there are always plenty of errors flagged and many can't be corrected and some are in conflict with other parts of the software... that is if you can even figure out what has been flagged and why it is incorrect. VERY frustrating. One year I missed out on a vehicle depreciation deduction because of a software issue that I wasn't able to resolve until the following year.

Im very busy sometimes so I like being able to do them on my time instead of having to walk into an office Pros I like that I can work on my taxes from almost anywhere and you can upload forms on your time. It also shows previous years that you’ve filed with them and what forms. Cons For the free version to file obviously it is for more simple taxes like unemployment or w-2, I had unemployment but since I was married I had to pay a bit extra Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

A basic personal tax filing cost about $190 the first year. Not the best but not the worst. This year it cost me $850. She filed my taxes for a small business and was also doing some bookkeeping for me. I have minimal charges and I did most of the work myself before I handed her the papers so there was maybe three to four hours of work at best. It cost me $450 to file and that doesn’t include what I owe the government. Then it cost me another $350 for seven hours of work that she billed me for. At this point, she cannot give me to this day a printout of the details on how many hours she spent doing my bookkeeping to add my receipts. There’s no trace, there’s no tracking. Then I asked for a breakdown of the tax filing and why it cost $450. Keep this handy: they charge you for the basic starting point of $216. This is what is shown on their website but it won’t show you any more. Then, with the total that she added in that seven hours of bookkeeping I was charged for, she added that total to a single line on the tax form. She just transferred the number from her total on one piece of paper and write it on the tax form and one line – I was charged an extra $160 for that. Then they nickel and dime you to death at $30 a pop. So I got an extra $90 because I used my vehicle expenses, home office expenses, and utilities to add into yet three more tax form lines. It’s a double dip and it’s crooked. Pros The woman who did my taxes and bookkeeping. She was sweet and welcoming. We had some fantastic conversations. Cons The ridiculous prices. The double dipping. The buckle and dime charges and then the extra charges to add a total to a line on the tax form. Switched from [Turbotax](https://www.capterra.com/p/10002787/Turbotax/) Thought it would be helpful.

I trusted HR Block and did everything \[sensitive content hidden\] asked me to do. After the event, I had a strange feeling. So, I looked into the amendment myself. I could not find anything wrong. Finally, I went to the government agency and got a copy of my original tax return and compared it. I found out \[sensitive content hidden\] was using a forged Form 104PN for Colorado government and cheated me. I kept as much documents as I could, and I am opened to any challenge from anyone. HR Block allow this man working under its name. It is a great shame. I recommend people stay away from this agency. Pros none, just cheating and lying. People should stay away.
