I have used Turbo Tax for the past 3 years, as I thought it was just as good.
After starting my taxes this year on Turbo Tax, I felt that I was not getting enough back, so decided to take the H&R Block challenge, ($29 if you do not use them to file, or pay whatever the cost is if you do use them to file... but they show you how much you would get back if you used them)..
Well, I paid them $200 to get me an extra $1500 that Turbo Tax didn't give me, using the exact same figures.
Where Turbo Tax said I couldn't use my wifes tuition and the taxes on my new car, and the donations I gave last year, as I didn't have enough deductions, H&R Block somehow allowed them and boom, when I saw the difference, I filed, I came home cleared my form on Turbo Tax, and closed it out.
Next year, I am going back to H&R Block
I am not saying H&R is the best, but I would say, try one of the non-online ones if you have a somewhat simple, but could be's....
For instance, ours is simple as follows
Mortgage Interest
Tuition
New Car
A couple charitable's
2 W-2s (1 for each me and my wife)
Pretty simple, or so I thought.
