Norm; H&R Block may have been good for you, but my experiences are much different. I found them clueless in oil depletion allowances and many other oil related topics. They also missed many other non-oil related deductions.

My father passed away last September and I too am faced with a complex return this year. I am the sole heir and have inherited a large estate, some of my percentages in oil properties have increased as well as inherited new wells. I am not looking forward to this year'$ tax return at all!

To complicate matters, my father never probated my mother's will. I have since resolved the probate matters of both my mother and my father. It was a matter of MONEY and much PAPERWORK.
