Which Is Cheaper, TurboTax or H&R Block?

A: Well, if you are filing your taxes without any complicated deductions or credits, you can file with either service for free. However, if you need to choose one of the more advanced offerings, H&R Block is the cheaper choice, if you factor in the 15% discount that they offer our NextAdvisor readers.
Here's a quick breakdown of what each service charges for the different tiers of service they offer:
    Basic: H&R Block charges $16.96 with NextAdvisor discount, while TurboTax charges $19.99.
    Deluxe: H&R Block charges $25.46 with NextAdvisor discount, while TurboTax charges $29.99.
    Premium/Premier: H&R Block charges $42.46 with NextAdvisor discount, while TurboTax charges $49.99.
    State: H&R Block charges between $27.95 – $34.95 with NextAdvisor discount, while TurboTax charges $36.99.
TurboTax also offers a Home & Business plan for $74.99.
In addition to the cheaper price, H&R Block also offers on-site tax guidance at one of their many tax office locations, along with extensive customer service options. Both services offer inclusive audit protection along with access to a tax expert in case of an audit.
