Higher Return

Fam5 — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 09:07:37 GMT

Why is my return twice higher in H&R Block.? I don't want to have to leave TurboTax, but that's a huge difference. Same exact info entered. What is TT doing different?

I do not know. Entering the same information into any software program should yield the same results. If your results using H & R Block and TurboTax are off, you are, most likely, doing something wrong/different with one of the software programs.

You should do a side-by-side comparison to see what is different. Download/print or use TurboTax to preview Form 1040.

To see a detailed summary of your return using TurboTax Online, click the first arrow below your estimated refund amount in the side panel, then select the option for View Detailed Tax Summary. The Detailed Summary page will appear, giving you line-by-line information regarding your income and credits.

Why would you say that I am the one doing something wrong. Maybe you trust too much. I did say that I entered all the same information and answered all the same questions the same. Why would you assume right off the bat that I am doing something wrong. Ever thought maybe the softwares are wrong or haven't been updated.... wow thanks for your reply which was very unhelpful.

I'm just baffled that you would right away assume that I'm doing something wrong here and literally I'm putting all the info the same. I've checked the standard vs itemized, made sure I was not anyone dependent, etc... I did everything right. You must work for TurboTax to say something like that. Smh how disappointing.
