I switched to HR block last year - it read my TT file from 2014 and cost so much less - and face it HR Block has been doing taxes a long time
Even though Fidelity gives me the big (100%) discount only on Premier, I've never found anything I couldn't do just as easily with Deluxe. Premier has slightly more hand-holding in the interview routine, but that's not at all necessary for me. If I were buying it myself, it would definitely be the Deluxe version, and I'd wait for the Costco sale on it.
I wish HRB would would would send me a mailer some year, I never get any now..... I wonder how they decide to mail them ?
I have used the two almost interchangeably over the past 20 years. Whichever happened to be cheapest and worked with my particular operating system at that time. For MY purposes, there really isn't a difference. Last couple of years I used Block/Taxcut, but this year I got a free download for TT from Fido, so I'll be using that.
I'm pretty sure all the major packages are able to read a pdf of your return from last year. Everyone keeps their return as a pdf, don't they?

No problem with me either. Been with TurboTax for years but HRB offer of $9.95 for their Deluxe version with state was just too good to ignore. I also wanted to play some what of scenarios before year end for planning purposes. Getting HRB now saved me a $$$ with tax planning. After trying HRB I find it to be very similar to TT and had no learning curve.I had no problem importing last year's Turbo tax file to HRB.
Y'all have piqued my curiosity about HRB. How many Federal e-files do you get? Cost for each federal or state filing?
With TT I get 5 free Federal e-filings which is just enough and each state filing is $20.
