I got off easy this year as I only had a W-2 (the most common type of tax document, which is probably what you'll use) to file as I tested this year's online tax services on my 2025 taxes, including H&R Block DIY online services.
Trust the Process
Although H&R Block has several ways to file, including full service online and full-service in-person, (which I discuss more in-depth later on), I tested H&R Block DIY, which is self-guided and starts at $0 for federal filing.
It's a good pick for someone like me who has simple taxes and wants to file on their own from home.
If you run into issues you can't deal with on your own, it's easy to bail out and upgrade to tax assistance services, which provide expert support for tougher questions.
