There are instructions in the thread I linked to that might help. Edge and Firefox seem to work fine. A new private browsing session seems to work best. If it fails, close all private browsers and try again.

Even without the extra discount, the base prices on this page are equal to the current best prices of the year.

Worked, but backwards. Clicking through OP's link, I got the $5.00 discount offer first. Clicked on it.

Then the Indentity offer popped up.

Once you see the Deluxe offered as a $9.95 option, click on it ... it will show a $9.95 less $5.00 = $ 4.95 on the next page.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank hqh51

Thanks for the deal. This is the first time I'm able to purchase H&R tax software many months before tax is even due.

I used their small setup launcher to install, which isn't the full software install (file downloaded was too small for full install). Did some snooping to find the full installer that it automatically downloaded. One can find the full installer for backup/copy purposes in your C:\Users\<Windows user login>\AppData\Local\Temp directory. For me, since I bought Deluxe + State, the file name is: HRBlock_Deluxe-State_CW.exe

Thanks for posting.

I clicked back in this tab / OP's post to see the next step and the $5 off showed up when clicking back on the HRblock tab in Chrome, so didn't even need to open a new tab.

Already installed.

Correct, technically all you need to do is de-focus the deal tab. Opening a new tab is just the easiest repeatable instruction.

Bought, instructions worked perfectly (actually didn't even need to close the identity shield popup first, just switched to another tab and back and the $5 discount was offered in a popup on top of the identity shield popup), downloaded, installed, and opened software just fine. Did get charged sales tax, but this deal is low enough for me.

Tip from another SD thread on H&R Block software: you're getting a 4MB launcher that then downloads a 47MB installer (at least for Deluxe+State). The installer exe file is downloaded to C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp
and the installer file is called HRBlock_Deluxe-State_CW.exe in case you want to save it

Instructions worked exactly as provided for Deluxe plus State. Used Brave on Win7 to make the purchase and do the .exe download. Will install and make the first pass using the Win10 machine in late Jan when I get my W-2. Probably won't have all my filing docs until late Feb.

Thx for the deal!

Is this site even legal? H&R Block website is hrblock.com and the SSL certificate for this website belongs to some other company.

Thank you, worked for me! When I try to install I get an "Insufficient disk space error" despite having plenty of space. This happened in the past and I I believe it's just the launcher not working, and I think had to contact them for a link to the full software, and that worked.

What is the point of buying Basic version?
Most Free tax providers have it for free.
