I just spent the last hour entering data, filing for "free", and hit a roadblock on the HR Block site. It appears they don't like giving free filings to HSA users:
Since you contributed to a Health Savings Account (HSA), you'll need to use H&R Block Deluxe to prepare this year's taxes.
Complete your return in H&R Block Deluxe for an additional $24.99.
Additional state filing fees may apply.
... I'm not saying "don't use them", but I am saying "if you're one of the many HSA users in the U.S., be advised."
EDIT: the cherry on top! I agreed to use the $25 product, and when I was granted access to the Form, the first thing they tell me is "we already know about the $xxxx that you contributed, from your W2". Since the corresponding amount shown on my 5498-SA was already reported by my employer on the W2, there was nothing inside the $25 VIP Area. I'm absolutely fuming that I need to run this up the flagpole to file without paying $25.
