I've have clients come to me and tell me that the reason HR Block didn't prepare a form was because it wasn't out yet. It was out - they just didn't know to prepare it.
Plus why anyone would take their audit protection is beyond me. Like a extended warranty on a blender. A tremendous money maker for them!
A side note - years ago the Wall Street Journal took a rather complicated return to a variety of tax preparers - mom & pop shops, EA;s, small CPA's. large International CPA firms, tax attorneys. Not one got the maximum savings. Talks to the complexity of our tax laws and that was years ago!
