The next plan is the Premium online tier, coming in at $75, including one free state return. Plan to spend an extra $49 for each state return filed. It costs $55 and that includes support for most Form 1099s, free tech support, and a “drag and drop” feature that permits the free importing of current and past year data. It offers support for stock and other investment sales, and it also covers home mortgage interest deductions, charitable giving deductions, and all other itemized deductions if you don’t want to claim the standard deduction. It's designed for homeowners, investors, those with retirement income, and those who’ve made contributions to health savings accounts. The Deluxe online plan is H&R Block’s next tier. You can use this edition to add information about your dependents, too.
The Free online edition should suit you just fine if you have only W-2 income and/or unemployment income, and if you rent your home. The company also offers options of varying support from its tax professionals: do it yourself with the help of a tax pro, upload your documents for a tax pro to prepare your return for you, or make an appointment to sit with the tax pro who will do your taxes.
H&R Block offers four tiers of online tax preparation programs for the 2023 filing season: Free, Deluxe, Premium, and Business & Premium.
