H&R Block consistently delivers one the best tax software services, and its H&R Block Deluxe 2023 service continues this tradition. Moreover, the service has several useful updates for tax year 2022, with clear guidance on complex tax topics (including crypto) and a colorful, visual interface whose efficient design keeps tax prep from feeling overwhelming. Plus, the service integrates cogent explanations that break down tax lingo in a digestible way. H&R Block still has the cleanest and most friendly user experience we’ve seen. But what it still lacks is a seamless, all-virtual way of having a tax pro handle your taxes from start to finish.
