I use HR Block as well and agree with your fee gripes. However, that's the same with TurboTax and TaxCut.

I have been using freefillableforms.com for years to file my extension (yes, K-1s) for free. The state form can be printed and mailed. Less secure than e-file, but I'm not willing to pay extra out of principle. Some states will let you e-file for free on their website. You can calculate the return in HR Block and then transfer the data to the state's website. Or just pay the $20. Your choice.
