this does not include state e file!

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 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.

------------Reminder that you probably qualify for free tax preparation based on income.
------------H&R Block Online Deluxe can be had for free by those that me the income requirements:

Tax companies are known to lobby to make filing taxes a pain. Most people do not have particularly complex tax needs, and [b]70% of people in the US qualify for free tax preparation based on income.[b/] Below are some resources to help 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.com

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:
https://www.mymoneyblog.com/free-...tates.html

Here are what the different H&R block versions offer for reference:

Negative, Will Robinson. It is not just a simple $1000 refund. It is a $1000 refund cashed out as an Amazon gift card for a measly 4%. Not worth locking up your money for it when you can get 5% back from Amazon cards OR 1-3% + purchase protections from other credit cards...

No Deal!

REF: "Refund Bonus Offer
Choose to put your refund on an Amazon gift card and you can get a 4% bonus. See Amazon.com for offer details."
U folks don't get it that the refunds are overpayments that you made throughout the year. You are more than welcome to donate your refund check to local government or whoever.

If u don't want to receive refunds for overpayments, that requires an increase in tax rates across the board. Be carful of what you are asking for.
I agree 4% in additional GC isn't worth it, but the key is we get to use those slow ship credits!

Amazon just lowered their price to $19.99 for their Deluxe + State software. Both download and Disk versions are at this price.

Thanks. I guess it was good to buy it early rather than wait until March like usual. It probably won't be available for much less.

Works for download versions (PC / Mac) or physical disc version.

Includes 5 free federal e-files.

The 4% refund bonus is via Amazon GC - check threads from past years to see issues some people have had with it (% bonus also used to be higher).

A 4% bonus? What does that mean, if I had a $1000 refund, I'll get $40? .. So this is something new with tax software that I havent seen in the past.
