H&R Block Tax Services

H&R Block offers easy online tax form preparation, with guaranteed accuracy and step-by-step assistance. If you are filing the simplest tax form, the 1040EZ, you can do it online, including free federal e-filing, for $14.95 using TaxCut Standard. Most people need TaxCut Deluxe, which is $29.95 and covers the 1040 or 1040A forms. This also includes free federal e-filing, as well as a free consultation about a single topic with an H&R Block tax professional by phone or e-mail. (State tax returns must be purchased separately online and start at $14.95.) If you prefer to keep your data on your own computer, you can download TaxCut for Windows (and avoid shipping charges) or order it on CD. The standard version is $29.95. Finally, H&R Block offers a signature service in which one of its tax professionals will review and sign your return. This costs $79.95. You also can use H&R Block tax professionals to amend past returns. Sales Tax: California, Minnesota, Washington. Shipping: $5.95 for the first item in an order plus $2.95 for each additional item.
