MyBlock: Tax Docs & Refund — Waste of time Waste of time to download, you have to go to a website anyway, then put in all the same info to finish your return, may as well do it there. It gets ridiculous have to put the same information in multiple times. To top it off, they have your email, photos of your id, and a…
Wastes timeMyBlock: Tax Docs & Refund — Tech support is terrible! There is a system glitch that would increase my tax liability by several thousand dollars if I didn’t catch it. Three chats and a phone call later no one is able to help, they just tell you to delete your entries and start over, which does not resolve the issue.
Strong complaintMyBlock: Tax Docs & Refund — Filed taxes via app - problematic There were links for more information that were not clickable. Not the most inconvenient thing to ever happen, but certainly a nuisance. Finished filing from laptop. Now that taxes are filed, in go to app to check status and THOSE buttons are not…
MyBlock: Tax Docs & Refund — Broken links The app is decent but every green link does absolutely nothing when you click it. It has made my tax experience significantly longer than it needed to be because I have to go out of my way to go research what something means instead of just simply clicking the link that is…
MyBlock: Tax Docs & Refund — Doesn’t fully work… None of the “Learn more” links, or any other links for that matter, open up so you can actually read them. The “Print return” button at the end also doesn’t open. So…. You inevitably have to login to your laptop or login via a web browser outside of the app to download…

Questions about this idea
- Is Tax app plagued by broken links a startup idea?
- Not directly. These are complaints about a product or service people already use, and the fix belongs first to that provider. The page shows what is frustrating users and how badly — not an open market to start a company in.
- How many people have this problem?
- 15 different people described it independently, in 15 mentions, the earliest from 08 Feb 2026 and the most recent from 04 May 2026. The quotes, with dates and links to the originals, are in the Evidence section.
- Is this problem getting worse?
- Status: quiet — no new posts in the last 60 days. 0 people raised it in the last 30 days and 0 in the 30 days before; the status compares its share of everything collected from the same source, so collecting more or less cannot create a trend.

The MyBlock app's broken links are causing a lot of frustration, especially when users can't click on 'Learn more' links or the 'Print return' button. We've heard from 15 people who are stuck having to use a laptop or web browser instead. When do these links fail for you—during filing or when checking your tax status later?
