They hit the Form 8962 e-file validation error in the H&R Block software even after the update, then worked around it by deleting the form and recalculating, after which the return was transmitted and accepted by the IRS.

They used H&R Block Deluxe for their rentals and found the interview easy to follow, but the summary tab showed nothing calculated for rental income, which was frustrating until they worked out passive loss limits.
Of the 45 reviews with a clear verdict, 27% are positive, 18% mixed and 56% negative. The praise mentioned most is easy to use. The most common complaint is buggy app.
The praise reviewers mention most: easy to use (6 reviews), low fees (4 reviews) and reliable (4 reviews). For example: Years of filing returns with it, since the first return, have always felt simple and intuitive.
The complaints reviewers mention most: buggy app (14 reviews), poor support (10 reviews) and hidden fees (4 reviews). For example: Their site shows an uploaded, signed authorization to file and a filing summary, yet the return was never filed.
It's how well reviewed H&R Block Online is, out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews: a product needs plenty of them, compared with the most-reviewed products here, to reach the high 80s and 90s. It's worked out from reviews only, needs at least 5 of them, and updates as new ones come in.
