Customers are saying

Customers love the ease of use and the price of Deluxe + State Tax Software. Many appreciate its accuracy in tax calculations and the ability to file in multiple states. However, some users experienced challenges with the digital download process, including issues with activation codes and e-filing. A few customers reported problems with the e-filing process itself.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    I purchased this and Best Buy never sent an activation code. After contacting HR Block to get one, I got it all done... However, my state efile still hasn't been accepted and I've spent 2 hours on hold tonight waiting for someone to research this... go buy another product.

      Hello Jamie - We are so sorry to hear of your experience with purchasing our product through Best Buy. Many retailers sell our digital product and provide activation codes in your emailed receipt. Sometimes these receipts can be filtered to spam or junk folders depending on your settings. Thank you for reaching out to H&R Block directly and I'm happy to hear they were able to resolve. HRBlock

    I use H&R Block software to do my taxes every year. I usually buy it at the store. This year I bought the digital download which was missing the activation code. It was no where to be found and was not sent to me when I purchased and downloaded. I had to call H&R Block. I had to find the customer service number online. I will not be purchasing this product from Best Buy again. Too much of a hassle for a simple thing

    H&R Block software is great, have been using their software for last 15 years or more. This was my first time using the digital software. Could not get taxes done because no code was given to use software to do taxes. Many days and phone calls later, finally got the code to use from an H&R Block representative. No help from Best Buy or Geek squad.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I've been using this software for the past few years. It's been solid for the price. The only caveat I have is currently Best Buy's activation key server isn't working. You'll have to call H&R Block to get your key so you may want to buy it elsewhere.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I've been using H&R Block for years, and I highly recommend the product. However, when I ordered it in digital form from Best Buy, it came without an activation code. The software basically works without the code, until it's time to download the state form, or you wan to e-file. I went back and forth with the Best Buy support team, and later their sales team. They promised to email me an activation code, but it never came. 6 days later they finally refunded my purchase price.

    I downloaded the H&R Block Deluxe + State software and never received an activation code. I called Best Buy customer service regarding this issue and was told they cannot give out the activation codes and I would need to contact H&R Bock; I contact H&R Block and they tell me that Best Buy needs to give me the code. Now I'm stuck with a piece useless software. GARBAGE!

      Hello -
      You should have received an activation code via email when you purchased the software. If you have not received, I would recommend checking your junk/spam folders. If you are using gmail, depending on your settings, messages from retailers could be filtered to your 'promotions' folder as well. If you are still having trouble, you can reach out to our Client Services team at 1-800-HRBLOCK between the hours of 7am and 7pm CST. HRBlock

    Not user friendly, had to call H&R Block for assistance in navigating through different section of forms creation. I did a Digital download of the software from Best Buy and it hung up had to call Geek Squad for assistance. If you don't have a computer protection plan with them you're out of luck!
