Not as good as some of the recent deals from Newegg for $19.99 but this is a good way to use up those Digital Credits. You can go to www.amazon.com/norushcredits [amazon.com] to see if you have any to use!

Careful on what version you buy!!!
The below only applies to the CD/Download version. The Block Online packages of the same name have limited forms compared to the Cd version.
There is much confusion about versions as to what does what and I thought I'd post this to try to clear things up.
Block likes to upsell you on the versions and there are almost outright deceptive marketing, wording and charts that cause much confusion about what version does what. Deluxe or even Basic will do the vast majority of returns even quite complicated ones.
Many mistakenly believe based on the charts and wording that Block puts out that you need Premium for things such as Schedule A,C, D & E. Deluxe handles all those forms but if you go by a chart or version picker on Block's site you will be guided the higher version.
Here is the full list of supported forms for Deluxe CD/Download version
You will see it is a quite extensive list and it will handle the vast majority of returns of your average taxpayers.
1) If you have a credit card that gives you 5% back on Amazon (Prime Rewards Visa) then do not opt for the 4% bonus. You will also lose other benefits like warranty extension/purchase protection if you opt for the 4% Amazon bonus in the form of a gift card
2) You can use free tax filing services if you qualify. Search on SD there is a thread that talks about the requirements you need to meet for free e-file
3) The deluxe + state includes the state software. This allows you to prepare your state forms and even print them out but it does not include the e-file which is another $19.99. Alternatively, some states offer free e-file so you could print out your return and enter the numbers manually
Hope this helps!

Free for those that me the requirements:
Tax companies are known to lobby to make filing taxes a pain. Most people do not have particularly complex tax needs, and 70% of people in the US qualify for free tax preparation based on income. Below are some resources to avoid spending too much on your tax preparation. Feel free to copy/paste this info wherever relevant.
If you make less than $66,000 in Adjusted Gross Income you qualify for free tax preparation (looks like it's going to be $69,000 for the 2019 tax year).
The non-profit The United Way offers free tax preparation using H&R Block Deluxe. This allows you to file your Federal returns and create up to 3 state returns for free. The Deluxe version is a step up from H&R Block's most basic "free" offering. Check it out here:
https://www.myfreetaxes
Note: While you can produce your state return for free, you may not be able to e-file for free. If that is the case, you can certainly print and mail your return for the cost of postage. Many states also offer their own free e-file solutions. Here is some info on which states offer free e-filing:

I'm guessing they have the Amazon Prime credit card which gives 5% on amazon purchases?
