I am an American ex-pat living in Australia. I had been using TurboTax for the last decade and this year it kept messing up the forms for my foreign tax credit so they were getting rejected by the IRS. I tried heaps of things, phoned their support, etc. for a total of 5 rejected returns. Finally, in desperation, I went and tried H&R Block's online offering and put in the same numbers and it not only was less expensive AND had me paying less tax but the forms it created were actually accepted by the IRS when I e-filed. To add insult to injury I paid TurboTax for the bad return (I tried for awhile to get them to refund it with this anecdote but it proved impossible and not worth more time trying) AND they sent me a nagging email every week for months telling me my return has been rejected and I need to refile it.
