deal is back.
Amazon has H&R Block 2022 Software (Digital Download or code by mail) on sale for 50% Off.
Basic Federal only [amazon.com] $19.99
Deluxe Federal+State [amazon.com] $22.50
Deluxe Federal only [amazon.com] $17.50
Premium Federal+State [amazon.com] $32.50
Additionally, Prime Credit Card holders will receive 20% back when paying with their Amazon Prime Credit Card.
Check supported forms before you buy a version. H&R Block upsells itself and Deluxe (or even Basic) version might be enough for your needs.
Also, "code by mail" is exactly what it is: you will not get physical disk. Instead, you get card with activation code and link to H&R Block web site to download it.
Whoever needs to prepare 2 (or more) states....
Remember: activation code is for 5 free federal e-files (regardless of installation), state program is per installation (regardless of activation code).
So, if you need to prepare 2 states, you need 2 computers (physical or virtual).
1) install "base" program it on both (again, activation code is not for installation. it is only for free federal e-file)
2) prepare federal return on either computer,
but do not install state.
3) copy saved return (T22 file) to second computer.
4) now you can install states you need, each one on a different machine, and complete your state returns.
It is essential to not to install state software before you make a "master" copy of your return, because installing it put a mark in your T22 file.

Can you confirm that you received and installed the correct version, please?
Though those reports on Amazon seem to be strange: you enter activation code after you install it. In fact, you do not have to plug activation code at all. It is required for free federal e-filing only, not to activate software.
