- This year I prepared my tax return on both Credit Karma Tax and H&R Block.

- Even though Credit Karma Tax is completely free, I chose to pay for H&R Block's Deluxe Online version.
- H&R Block enabled me to upload my W-2 for easy data input and got me about $200 more for my state tax refund than Credit Karma Tax.
