Forgive me if this was already posted (I couldn't find it)

"Free File Software Offers

Common sense is not a gift, it is a punishment.
Because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

For H&R Block, is it software you can install or a web based process?

Has anyone used H&R's free software?
Is there any benefit of premium paid software? Do they find any more credits?
I looked at the free federal and it seemd to have all the works. W2, all the 1099's and helpful with claiming business expenses, mortgage & tax form, EIC, 1095-A etc.
And allows free e-filing

I used it for most of my return but they wouldn't allow me to add a 1099B with the free version (had no problem with other 1099's)
