PositiveSummary of a Reddit comment
They have used both TurboTax and H&R Block for about 15 years and clearly prefer H&R Block, buying the Deluxe or Premium software for federal and state depending on which forms they need that year.

PositiveSummary of a Reddit comment
They moved from TurboTax to H&R Block desktop software roughly fifteen years ago because it was cheaper, and still use the Deluxe plus State edition. They note that extra states are sold as add-ons.

They dislike the H&R Block storefronts but find the H&R Block tax software itself quite good, pointing to the included free federal e-filings and a modest price depending on the version.

They prefer tax software that runs on their own computer and bought the H&R Block desktop software this year for a very low price, noting online upsells elsewhere are what make other options costly.

It's how well reviewed H&R Block Online is, out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews: a product needs plenty of them, compared with the most-reviewed products here, to reach the high 80s and 90s. It's worked out from reviews only, needs at least 5 of them, and updates as new ones come in.
Category: Tax software. Type: Online tax software. Fees: Free Online $0 + $0 per state (simple returns); Deluxe $65 + $49 per state; Premium $105 + $49 per state.
