I used to do taxes professionally and have found HR Block to be as good as Turbo Tax in terms of ease of use, and better in some cases where I have to manually edit a form.
In fact every year I'll compare HR Block to Turbo Tax online for a select few people and find the results the same, if not more comprehensive with HR Block.
Turbo Tax has tried to screw over American tax payers for decades, starting in the 90's / 2000's by forcing its customers to register their tax software via server activation. This meant if your PC died, or you had to factory reset due to a virus, you could not reinstall the tax software, or reinstall it in later years to do an amended return. This alone causes me to stay away from Turbo Tax. Every year I have to file 2-3 amended returns for prior years, and with Taxcut it is super simple.
Now Turbo Tax tries to lobby congress to keep taxes complicated so people are forced to use its software. Also, Turbo Tax tries to hide the free tax filing option from eligible tax filers and have been taken to task for that.
No matter which way you spin it, Turbo Tax is evil and anti-consumer. Stop spouting BS that HR Block is worse than Turbo Tax. No way I'm going to let this fly.
Turbo Tax interface is easier in some ways, but HR Block's interface is fairly easy as will, and allows easy manual control of the forms for more complex situations.
Exactly.
Don't listen to the troll.
Exactly. Suckers pay way more for Turbo Tax because they listen to trolls and don't understand that alternatives are just as good, if not better.
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
To save you the constant forwarding, here is the dept that actually helped me.

"All sales are final. No refunds or exchanges on purchases."
*UPDATE*
Don't know whether it mattered or was a timing issue, but updating chrome appeared to work. Used the same card.
Note:
firefox never prompted the discount
they did authorize my card twice
The completion email appears to be mailed from a server registered to hrblock.com so yes it looks like a marketing campaign. Which they need, because their software works like this site. I actually had to mail in my state form last year because federal worked and state couldn't connect to server /eyeroll
*Update*, switched from Edge to Chrome and it worked.
For $5, worth a try.
Thanks.
Been using HR block online for ten years, the software version is a little different.
