Maximum Refund Guarantee
Get the maximum refund you're entitled to or your return is free.

If you find another online tax preparation method that results in a larger refund (or smaller liability) than that calculated by the TaxCut® online tax program, we will refund the fees you paid us to use our online tax program to prepare that return. To qualify, the larger refund or smaller tax liability must not be due to differences in data supplied by you or positions taken on your return that are contrary to law.

Awesome product
I have used Taxcut Basic for 2 years now and can't say enough about the program. I am active duty military and travel all over the world. No matter where I am, I am able to access the program (which is on a secure Web site) and do my tax returns in a very timely manner. It's awesome!

Lifelong User!
TaxCut Online Basic is so inexpensive and easy to use. I think my 8-year-old could have filed our taxes!! We are repeat customers with TaxCut Basic and fully intend to use it every year in the future!

So, So EASY!!!
This was the easiest tax year we have ever had, plus one of the largest refunds. It is fool proof, and I never had to leave my living room

How is TaxCut® Basic + E-file different than TaxCut Premium + E-file?
Both TaxCut Basic + E-file and TaxCut Premium + E-file make filing your taxes easy by taking you through a simple, step-by-step tax interview. TaxCut Basic + E-file is best for people with simple tax situations. But, if you're looking for extra tax help and guidance with a Schedule C, home mortgage, rental property, home office, business expenses or asset depreciation, TaxCut Premium + E-file would be best for you. With TaxCut Premium + E-file, you'll also receive 1 free tax consultation with an H&R Block tax professional at no additional cost.

Can I import from TaxCut online or software, H&R Block office or TurboTax® software?
Yes! Importing your tax information from your previous year's return is easy, and it can save you time when completing your taxes. You can import your basic personal and tax information into TaxCut online from last year's TaxCut online, TaxCut software, TurboTax software or company-owned H&R Block tax office return data. (H&R Block office import only available from participating offices.) Just choose which program you'd like to import from, and we'll guide you through the process. You'll also be able to decide what you do or don't want to import for this year. Then, we'll place the information in the appropriate forms throughout the entire program. All you have to do is add this year's values.

What is Worry-free Audit Support®?
In the event of an audit, you can rest easy knowing H&R Block is there to help every step of the way. From audit preparation assistance, to having an H&R Block enrolled agent represent you before the IRS at your request, it's all included when you pay for and successfully file (via e-file or print and mail) your return. See complete terms and conditions for Worry-free Audit Support.

How is TaxCut online different than TaxCut software?
With TaxCut online you work directly over the Internet to complete your taxes. TaxCut online uses secure socket layer (SSL) technology to encrypt all sensitive information. So, anything you enter into the program is always safe and secure. With TaxCut software you install the software on your computer. Plus, you work from and save your information to your hard drive.
