I read the article someone posted comparing the different tax software and the H+R Block comparison has one "con" ..

"The cost of filing state returns."

What does that mean?

I use Turbo Tax. Most tax software or sites charge money to send your return(s) to the IRS and your state. Different versions of the programs charge a different amount for this service. When you buy a program some of the filing fee(s) maybe included with price. To get a true picture compare basic with basic or deluxe with deluxe.

For the first time in 15 years, I did my taxes myself with Turbotax Deluxe this year. I had used an accountant for years. I found it so much more affordable, my refund amount was nearly the same as if I used the accountant and my refund was filed and processed and the federal money was in the bank within a week.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.
