H&R Block At Home Deluxe offers all of the necessary tools for the average homeowner, the taxpayer with investments, and those looking to itemize their returns. And, it’s budget-friendly at $25.46. For this review, we also added one state return, which is an additional $29.95.

H&R Block At Home boasts a clean and efficient interface allowing easy navigation and user friendliness. We were especially impressed with the straightforwardness of the interview process. It leaves no room for error and takes the headache out of tax time. A unique feature that H&R Block offers is a free session with a professional tax advisor. This provides ease of mind and can save the user money in the end. This is a great option for Online Tax Software because of its extensive features.

The only feature H&R Block At Home lacked is the year-to-year deduction comparison.
