H&R Block and TaxCut Pros and Cons

HRBlock advertises the most and is the most popular online tax service. You can import previous tax data from TurboTax and TaxCut.

Pros: HRBlock online tax software offers 5 choices of service at different costs. They offer a limited free filing service. Audit coverage is provided at a cost. Advanced tools are available on more expensive plans.

Cons: The extra choices add to an already complex software with too many choices. It seems like HRBlock has worked hard to maximize revenue at your expense. Several annoying requests for refund loans and similar services add to your cost if purchased. At a cost of up to $99.95 (extra for state returns), HRBlock is not a value. At this price you can have an accountant do it for you beginning to end.
