While driving this past week, I heard a radio commercial for Intuit’s TurboTax, stating that more returns were prepared on TurboTax than by H&R Block. Well, not so fast, says Block. The Kansas City based Block filed a lawsuit against Intuit in Kansas City on Friday.
Not so fast, says Intuit. We sued you first, in California.
H&R Block got a restraining order in Kansas City against Intuit using that advertisement (with Block’s name). Today, arguments were scheduled to be heard in Kansas City on ending the restraining order.
We’re often asked, by the way, about Turbo Tax and H&R Block. Both are fine (in our view) for simple, basic returns. TurboTax is excellent if, for example, you need to file an extension and you want to get an idea of what you owe (so you can make your payment with your estimate). But when you have a complicated return, you get what you pay for.
