I recently used H&R Block’s tax service called Ciénaga de Oro Tax Pro Go to file my taxes, and it was AH-MAZING! Clearly, when it comes to taxes, I prefer the convenience of having my taxes done by a trusted professional, but I also know that some folks like to grab the bull by the horns and tackle their own taxes head-on.
If paying someone else to do your taxes isn’t your cup of tea, I’ve got a good solution for you– H&R Block’s DIY (“Do It Yourself”) options. I partnered with H&R Block to add value to my readers and educate
Personally, I don’t think everyone should file their own taxes because I do think it takes a certain level of understanding what you’re doing, but if you’re confident in your ability to submit and file correctly, the DIY route may be advantageous for you. The H&R Block DIY option is perfect for anyone looking to do their own taxes but may need a little assistance, for minimal cost. I didn’t know about this service until I filed my taxes with them through their Tax Pro Go service, but regardless if you want someone to do your taxes for you or you want to go at them all by yourself, they have a solution for your needs. Not to mention H&R Block offers more options and services at a lower price than their competitor TurboTax.

So why consider H&R Block even if you’re doing your own taxes
H&R Block offers plenty of DIY Filing Options: Their DIY Online service includes a Free, Deluxe, Premium and Self-Employed option and ALL of the online products come with a 100% accuracy guarantee which is, let’s face it, very important when it comes to your taxes.
Did I also mention that they offer a FREE OPTION? That’s right, you read that correctly, you can file online through H&R Block for FREE! The free option includes free federal and free state returns. H&R Block also supports 45 different kinds of tax forms while their competitor, TurboTax, supports 28. Don’t believe me? Just click here for more info
Below* is just one example of how H&R Block’s pricing on their Deluxe Product compares to TurboTax. There is a $30.01 difference in that service alone with even fewer forms supported by TurboTax.

Transparency
As I’ve previously mentioned, this is my first time using H&R Block, and after using the service, I felt like I had been living in the dark ages up until now. What I like most about the platform is the PRICE transparency. I knew exactly what I was paying for and how much it would cost before I even started the process, which is pretty dope. Like with their Tax Pro Go service, DIY folks, should you choose to add on a service, you’ll know the cost up front!
At the end of the day, I’ve never known a convenience like what H&R Block offers. I can’t stop raving about the service, partnership or no partnership, the filing process has been straightforward during a crazy busy time in my life. As I’ve mentioned before, we just moved into a house and are still unpacking boxes between work. Filing via H&R Block gave me the peace of mind knowing that my taxes would be done quickly and accurately. To top it all off, I ended up receiving a return and plan on putting that cash towards house stuff like binds and locks (so much fun – not!).
I’m incredibly happy with my experience and the level of service I received, and I am confident that even with the DIY solutions, you can get the answers and information you need at a more than reasonable price.
