What H&R Block® Does Best

They are very straightforward and helpful with “if this is your situation, then this is the level you need”. We liked that a lot, and also liked the free chat support (with expert tax review help available for a fee.) There are plenty of refund options (direct deposit, etc.), and they can also advance your refund (for a fee) if you wish.

Return Types and Costs

They have a free EZ option (both federal and state).Their other levels are Deluxe ($34.99), Premium ($54.99), and Self-Employed ($74.99). We found ample discounts available. They don’t show you what forms you get with each, instead guiding you via your needs. State returns are $36.99 for all paid levels.

Any Negatives?

The only thing we found lacking was we couldn’t easily find out which forms were included.

Our Final Verdict: 9.8/10

H&R Block is a long-time, trusted name in taxes, and their online tax filing service reflects their longevity and professionalism.
