H&R Block TaxCut Premium (2009)
At about $70 for a state and federal return, H&R Block's TaxCut Premium continues to offer attractive pricing relative to TurboTax, and its access to Block's army of flesh-and-blood tax preparers as well as the ability to import TurboTax data (but only from desktop versions) present a tantalizing proposition for some TurboTax customers looking to save a few bucks.
Overall, TaxCut's help options for your federal return are more organized and more relevant in their presentation than those of archrival TurboTax. A column on the right side lists common questions related to the task at hand, plus links to a help center with IRS publication instructions, tax tips, a glossary, and some troubleshooting support. TaxCut also has a handy "explain amount" link next to many summary totals, but like other sites, it only describes concepts instead of reconciling particular numbers on the return. If you really get wrapped around the axle, TaxCut offers one free e-mail or phone session with an H&R Block tax preparer.
This version of TaxCut is $39.95 for a federal return, plus $29.95 for a state return. Boxed TaxCut software comes in different combinations and permutations than the online packages do, so be careful when making a selection; like TurboTax and TaxAct, which also sell boxed or downloadable software, going offline may cost less (or more) depending on your situation, especially if you file a Schedule C or plan to e-file more than one federal return.
