- Before you buy, read this!
- Unlike years past, H&R Block (founded by a guy named Bloch) decided to charge $16 for each e-file, Federal or state. Only one version, "Premium Federal+State+E-file" includes a "free" Federal e-file and state e-file; but that version costs $70, so there's no free lunch at all. Seriously, $16 is a lot to pay for e-filing. There are websites that give you completely free e-filing; my favorite is TaxAct (at taxactonline dot com). With TaxAct, you get the complete Federal plus state package for $7.95, which includes e-filing. Or you can use their standard package to prepare Federal and e-file for free, with *NO* income restriction!
I don't work for any of these companies, nor any tax-related company, nor any such entity. I just don't think it's right for H&R Block to charge customers such a ridiculously high fee for e-filing, whereas people can e-file for free elsewhere. BTW, if you use Taxcut to prepare your return, you'll have to use H&R Block's e-filing service if you want to e-file; you can't just take your file to another website and expect that website to do it for you. I used TaxAct in the past and they are very dependable. You can find reviews of TaxAct products in major magazines and on major websites.
Good luck. - 2006-12-09, 58 of 72 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- 2nd Year of "A Great Deal"
- For the second year in a row, our "friends" at H&R Block, have offered their complete software in 1 box for 1 reasonable price. The catch as always as if you lived in 2 states, you have to get to 2 state programs via download (and the second will cost extra). 2 kickers to be aware of this year however. 1) It appears this time you can't get your first state (the one that comes as bought) until you are ready to process your state return. 2) The CD with the free e-file is now sold as a separate identity, if you wanna e-file using this version, you have to pay for it during installation. By the way speaking of paying on installation, H&R Block is mailing copies out to people who registered the software in past years (they did this last year as well). These mailed out copies are NOT free. You have to pay for them on installation. Fortunately, they email you a "receipt" with an "activation code" so if you have to uninstall and reinstall the disc, you don't have to pay again, just insert the cd and enter the code. Still and all, I have been using this since it has come our I think in 2000, and it is as always user friendly and a lot less expensive than Turbotax. Definietly, a big help to doing taxes at home.
