H&R Block continues to be the industry leader and supporter of e-filing, setting the standard with 100% of its products and services now including federal e-file at no additional cost to the consumer. Additionally, H&R Block eliminated all e-file fees in its TaxWorks preparation software starting in tax year 2007. Intuit has not eliminated all e-file fees in its professional tax preparation series, forcing tens of thousands of taxpayers to continue to pay e-file charges through their professional preparers.
1For Tax Year 2008, H&R Block realigned the features of the TaxCut Premium Federal + State + E-File product and lowered the price by $20 vs. Tax Year 2007's comparable product; TurboTax, however, increased the price of its Premier product (with e-file now included)
by $15.
