H&R Block At Home Basic Conclusion

H&R Block At Home Basic costs $14.95 for your federal return and $29.95 for the state add-on, which comes to a total of $51.90.  Both your federal and state returns include free e-filing.  H&R Block At Home Basic is moderately easy to use. The system auto-saves your information, so  you will start from the last saved page every time you log in. However, revisiting parts of your tax return is somewhat cumbersome. For instance, the system will check for errors one you've finished your return, but it does not take you to the page where each specific error is located. 

H&R Block At Home Basic does not include tax support. However, you can purchase one session with a tax professional for $19.95 per session. This product offers Worry-Free Audit Support, which means that H&R Block will guide you or represent you in the event of an audit.  H&R Block offers great phone customer support. They have a 24-hour help line and live chat, but no email support. H&R Block offers an Accurate Calculations Guarantee, Money-Back Guarantee and Maximum Refund Guarantee.
