Is this a startup idea?

Not directly. These are complaints about a product or service people already use — the fix belongs first to that provider.

    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…

    MyBlock: 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.

    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…
