Mar 14, 2018 - Amazon.com has H&R Block Tax Software Premium 2017 w/ 5% Refund Bonus (PC or Mac Download) on sale for $26.99. Thanks dorkm24.

Using H&R Block Deluxe with State on my Mac has been a nightmare this year. I've used Block software for years with no problems, but this year has been a bear. I initially couldn't save/open my return using a CD I got from Office Depot. I got an error message: 'string ID insertion failed.' Customer Support indicated the program ws corrupted. I uninstalled Block and installed a download provided by Customer Support. I was able to complete both federal and state returns and successfully transmitted them.

I got the message in my e-mail that both returns were accepted. My problem now is that when I go into the program and try to check the status, I get the same error message about an insertion error. I had saved my data in three different locations, including a flash drive, but I get the same error message when I try to open them.

So, I have no acces to my 2014 digital return. Svn client for mac os. My data is supposedly hopelessly lost, even though I backed it up just before filing. I've read that the automatic update of H&R Block for the Mac doesn't work properly and could give the kind of problem you're describing. The solution has been to get the Federal and State update files manually and install them manually. The Federal update is, and the State update is. Note that Block seems to release Mac updates using those links later than they release them for auto update. Also note that with the update process, the updater scans every attached drive and Time Machine and seems to be interested in updating every instance, including every appearance of the software in the Time Machine file.

I would urge the public to avoid using this software. When i called support about a mysterious $5370.00 error made on our joint tax returns, they were unable to find out where the amount came from. I wound up spending a lot of time on the phone only to be told that H&R Block would only look for the error if I paid extra. When I took exception to that idea, the support person adopted a condescending 'Well, next time, read the terms and conditions carefully!' Tone and then blamed me for the error - even though they were unable to figure out what the error was! On top of that, they suggested that I had probably made adjustments to my return after filing that I just wasn't telling them about! To sum up, their message was, 'Too bad there's an error, it's probably your fault, because probably you're a liar.
