Oh! I just read this entire discussion thinking that this sort of liability coverage was what the $80 was buying. (Or, at least, that having used a tax accountant was a "good faith" defence if tax auditors came a-knocking.) If that's not the case then it certainly does seem overpriced.
First, I totally pulled that $80 figure out of my ass. I have no idea how much they charge, though
this about.com page says that $125 is the price floor. And if you're getting them to fill out a basic tax return with no itemization, you're stupid enough that you deserve to waste that $125.
Second, at least H&R Block does provide some sort of liability coverage: "
if we do make an error in the preparatio...st and penalty."
