H&R Block TaxCut Deceptive Advertising for 2008 TaxCut Kansas City Kansas

While the box art was similar to last year's, they were very careful to make sure that it never directly said state e-filing was included. On the box and all webpages advertising TaxCut, they made sure to make a distinction between the software (what you can use to prepare returns, for e-filing or for paper filing, with unlimited paper filings) and the e-filing (the service of having your return formatted in the target state's desired format and sent off).

Additionally, note that H&R Block does not guarantee the ability to e-file a return, as situations can come up where you are mandated to file on paper (such as someone else illegally claiming one of your dependents - that was unusually common this past year). That was the likely cause of not including e-files with the program - they don't have to refund what they haven't "charged" yet.
