Turbotax vs H&R Block
-
I have noticed TurboTax seems to be more aggressive with upselling which kind of turns me off. They push a lot of add ons while you are filing and it feels like you are constantly being asked to upgrade. H&R Block felt a little more straightforward in their pricing. For me that honesty makes a big difference.

My mom has always gone to an H&R Block office because she likes speaking to someone face to face. On the other hand i prefer TurboTax because i don’t want to deal with appointments or going anywhere. It really shows how different people value different things. Neither is wrong it just depends on your personality.

H&R Block might not have the flashiest software but i trust them more overall. Knowing they have been around forever and have actual people behind the brand gives me peace of mind. TurboTax is great but at the end of the day, sometimes you want that human touch. That’s what tips the scale for me.

I used TurboTax for a long time but i noticed the price crept up every year. At first it was affordable then suddenly i was paying way more for the same service. That’s when i gave H&R Block a try and realized it did the job just fine for less money. Honestly cost is a big factor when you are filing every year.

H&R Block has always been solid for me because they seem to keep their interface simple. It does not feel overwhelming even when I’m dealing with multiple forms. TurboTax sometimes feels like it’s trying too hard to make things friendly with graphics and questions. I actually like the straightforward feel of H&R Block better.

One big plus with TurboTax is how quickly refunds come through. Every time i have filed my refund has hit my account within days. I can’t say the same when I used H&R Block once because it seemed to take a little longer. That speed keeps me coming back to TurboTax even if it costs a bit more.

For anyone who travels or moves around a lot TurboTax feels more convenient because you can log in anywhere. I filed once while staying with family out of state and it was seamless. H&R Block is fine too but if you want flexibility without being tied to an office TurboTax makes more sense.
