Tax Interviews
The interview in both H&R Block At Home and TurboTax asks simple questions to determine which tax forms your return should include and saves time later by not introducing tax topics that do not pertain to your return. If you prefer to cover every tax topic whether it applies to your return or not, either tax software has the option to do so.
Both TurboTax and H&R Block At Home enter information from the interview on the correct lines in the tax return, and automated calculations done throughout the interview show the amount of tax owed or the refund to expect at the top of the screen as you go through the tax preparation process.
Guarantees
TurboTax and H&R Block At Home both have excellent error checking features and each guides you through correcting errors if any are found. Both programs automatically download tax form updates at each use and right before the final return is printed or electronically filed.
H&R Block At Home and TurboTax both have accuracy guarantees stating that they will pay IRS penalties and interest if the software is not accurate (something that rarely, if ever, happens). Both H&R Block At Home and TurboTax have 60-Day money back satisfaction guarantees as well.
