Filing your tax returns is rarely a simple or easy task, but you should be able to save at least a little time and hassle with this iPhone and iPad app which provides loads of information and features to help you prepare your taxes and even send them over to your tax accountant.

This app has been extremely well received by users based on what I’ve seen from the comments on the iTunes description page, and this definitely isn’t without good cause. Everything from the features themselves to the design of the interface shows that the developer clearly knows what they’re doing.
This is a completely free app, so whether you’re at a loss with your taxes or you’re just looking for a couple of quick answers, you’ve absolutely got to check out this app as it comes very highly recommended from me!

Should you have any questions regarding the preparation of your taxes, you’ll definitely want to take a look through H&R Block as there are tons of answers to be found, and there is a very detailed A-Z Glossary of terms with hundreds of entries.

You can also use this app as a point of contact with your nearest H&R Block office. You can locate the closest office and even schedule an appointment with an advisor, all from within the interface; pretty handy if I do say so myself!

H&R Block is also a great way of staying on top of any changes made to tax codes that could affect you, plus if you think you may be due a tax refund then you can calculate exactly how much it should be by using the Tax Estimator.
