Look Out for H&R Block Deluxe + State, 5 Federal E-filings and one State E-Filing for FREE

Me too. Received the same CD for both Mac/Pc edition for 2012 but with an insert quoting limited time offer starting at $24.95 MSRP $34.95 for the Home Edition,Deluxe Edition for $34.95 from $44.95 and the Premium for $54.95 from $64.95. Hope this helps.

Actually I received the same CD as OP and it's really free. Installed it and works great.

Here is what it looks like...

I've used Turbotax for the last six years but have always paid for State e-filing. This is a clever and very tempting offer - saving me at least $60. I wonder if there's a way to request this cd? I just went to their website and decided to call them.

Will post if they direct on how to acquire this cd.

UPDATE: Just called 800HRBLOCK and first talked with Jessica who was absolutely clueless about the promotion. After patiently explaining what I was hoping to get - being on hold for a bit, she came back and shared that this promo is for random customers only.

Not very helpful - I explained this was a promotion to increase their customer base as she didn't seem to understand I was NOT a customer just yet and that is who they're marketing dept is targeting. Anyway, I hung up and called back.

Spoke with Juan - who stated the same thing. They suggested I walk into an HR Block store and ask them for assistance. If anyone else decides to pursue (successfully), please post.

Thanks.

Oh wow..that's cool! I've been using them the past couple yrs. now with great success! I unfortunately received the crappier offer via snailmail..

If this is a random distribution for H&R Block, and not available by any other means, this is probably better off in Deal Discussion forum.

I received the free promo CD in the mail, as did a few posters in this thread.

In my case, I used H&R Block @ Home in 2010 (or was it still TaxCut then?) to prepare my taxes, then switched to TurboTax for 2011 when it was offered for free to Android users. I suspect that the offer is targeted to entice previous users who filed using H&R Block software in the past but not for the 2011 tax year.

Repped +4 for your efforts.

I alos used Taxcut in the past, but have been using Turbotax online for the last few years as it was cheaper than buying the CD.

I got one of these the other day, too. This is the second time I've gotten a free version following a year where I used Turbotax. (I basically use whichever version I get for free, first).

I also noted that it says "free state e-file" on the outside, but the inside it only says the state edition is free. I intended to hold them to the free e-file!

Thanks Altonb1 - appreciate it!

Quote from junkies : I received a CD which has H&R Block Deluxe + State, 5 Federal E-filings and one State E-Filing for FREE. I used TurboTax last year. So, I might be a targeted customer. I was almost tossing it out like many years before, then a realized. So, look out for your CD just in case you receive it.

Was the activation code in the package that gets you the five free E-files?

If so, and if do not plan to use one of the five free E-files, would you please send it my way, of course after you use it to e-file yourself? T&R in advance...

I received a CD from them labeled "WHAT WOULD YOU PAY?". Auto run brings up a dialog that lets you scroll all the way from a minimum of $0.95 to full price on both the deluxe federal and the deluxe fed and state. The Premium version has an almost retail price on it.

says offer is good through 2/11/13. Who would pay higher than minimum and if they are charging less than a buck why not just give it away?

I am so jealous.... Mine was for $34.95 and no free state efile.
