H&R Block At Home 2009 Deluxe Federal + State + eFile [Formerly TaxCut]

It seems every year I keep switching from turbotax to H&R Block and back again the next year. In some years H&R Block is better and in some years Turbotax is better, but I get my taxes done and correctly each and everytime without any problems.

The product is hard to install, leaves too many tracks on the system and not user friendly. Turbo Tax is much better.

The software worked well, but state eFile is not free.

I used H&R Block At Home 2009 Deluxe Federal + State + eFile [Formerly TaxCut] to help file taxes for a single person with one W2, no mortgage, no investments, no itemized deductions. The program worked well. It calulated the same return amount as the CA's franchise board's efile website.

I was extremely disappointed that the state eFile was not included, only the Federal was. This was not clear to me from the way it was worded on Amazon's product page and on the product box. However, I was able to eFile on the CA franchise board's website, I just had to answer all questions there again.

I have used H&R Block Tax Software for years. Amazon offered it at the Best Price, so I grabbed it. The only drawback with the Software is that the State E-File is not Free. They give you 5 Free Federal E-Files, but how many people do you know will have to file 5 Federal Returns. For my state, LA, the cost was $19.99. They need to have 2 Free Federal E-Files and 2 Free State E-Files or something close to this. Otherwise, it is always cheaper than Turbo Tax.

Ordered this program because of its' bargain price and had all contents of a full priced item..
