1 out of 5 stars Before you buy, read this!   December 9, 2006

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.



5 out of 5 stars 2nd Year of "A Great Deal"   December 6, 2006
Eric Pregosin (New Carrollton, Maryland United States)

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.


5 out of 5 stars Let's not all rush to Turbo-Tax just yet   January 5, 2007

I used to be VERY happy with TurboTax, going back to the DOS days. I'm finally giving it up due to increasingly frequent tech problems over the last few years.

Before you switch from Tax Cut, compare the prices: they want $45 for Fed+State; Tax Cut wants $30. NEITHER product includes free filing for tax year 2006.

Macintosh support from Tax Cut (apparently missing last year) is back, and others have reviewed it under this product.

Current Turbo Tax users (tax year 2006) are reporting that they are unable to import from prior-year Tax Cut, nor do the Turbo Tax specs say they can.

If you are installing Turbo Tax on a Windows 98 machine, your installation will immediately abort & it will print out instructions for mailing the product back to them for a refund in 8 weeks.

Footnote/suggestion for those wanting to save money: Just buy the basic package, then file on paper; if you file paper in February/March, before the rush, your refund comes back in about 10 days--almost as fast as with e-file. Then do your state return by hand: most state returns are a page or two with numbers taken right off the federal form; just use your prior-year return as a guide if you get stuck.

This year they stopped paying for the federal online "e-file" - worth $15. So have the other guys, but... now that they know you're hooked on efiling, they've quietly removed that benefit.
I think the federal government should pay us for doing all the data entry for them!



1 out of 5 stars Wasn't e-file Fed included in past years   December 9, 2006

H&R automatically mailed me a copy of TaxCut Premium Fed+State, which you pay for if you choose to install. I seem to recall the the Fed efile was included in the Deluxe+State version from years past. This time it's $16 bucks for Fed & $16 for state. I like Taxcut, but come on, that's over a 50% increase over last years product. I'm looking elsewhere this year before I install.
Update: It's even worse than I thought. I think I paid about $15 at Walmart for the Fed Deluxe + State + Fed efile and $15 for State efile - that's $30 for the whole deal. Now It's $60!!!
