    When it comes to software for do-it-yourself tax returns, TurboTax holds the biggest market share, and TaxACT is a strong up-and-comer. H&R Block is still far better known for its tax prep services by human tax professionals than for its PC software. H&R Block's At Home software, though, is another offering you might want to consider, depending on your tax return filing needs.

    Well, we all have to do our taxes many of us will be using our laptops to follow through. Can't hurt to have someone review the available tax software options.

    Okay. Thought it might be something like an advertisement.

    Cheers

    Nope, it's not spam. The editors at Notebook Review have been reviewing the major tax software packages as we get closer and closer to April 15th:

    TurboTax

    TaxACT

    It's something they do every year.

    I tried H&R Block last year and had to return it and get my money back and go back to TurboTax.

    It did not correctly do my Pennsylvania state tax return. There is an error in the program for reporting income on a W-2S for non-PA pension income in a joint return.

    I called their technical support and emailed them. Their solution was to offer me my money back on their money-back guarantee if not happy program rather than fix the problem
