If You File Your Own Taxes
You can complete your federal tax return for free using H&R Block’s online product. State returns are additional.

I like to do my own taxes, but I also used a service called Best of Both from H&R Block last year. I pay a little more than if I do it myself. Basically, HR Block gives me a second look at the return. The way I rationalize it is that I don’t need to pay them for data entry, I should be paying for proper advice and opinion.
