I guess they keep trying diff variants of the same-ish deals over and over. H&R in general goes for $18-$25 on deals and last several years it has dropped to $20 with a $5 gift card or something netting it for $15.
This is a silly "deal" for a net $20 cost assuming GC=Cash. I just bought from Amazon for $25 last week and had some digital credits bringing it down to under $20 and be done with deal hunting for a better deal which this isnt one...
because it reduces the price for hr block deluxe fed + state (including 5 free fed efiles) to $17.99, assuming you use the gift card. I chose lowes. It has no expiry date. Did the same thing last year when it was $34.99 for the same deal and using the lowes gift card was no problem.
You can get home depot instead, but it isn't in my town yet.
Try finding the same program for less than $17.99 at this moment.
You can't.
Two different ways of looking at this.
Original person was saying (poorly worded) that the merchant should sell the gift cards themselves and sell the software to us for the listed price (minus the value of the gift cards). Which is just dumb because obviously they are compensating the discount they are offering by giving promotional gift cards (that they are able to get at a discount, increasing their margins on the discount they gave).
But everyone is (rightfully so) thinking they are saying to buy this and sell the software and keep the gift cards. Something we would have the power to do, but which there is literally advantage in doing.
First time I read it, I was in the 2nd camp, thinking it made absolutely no sense. Then I reread it and realized they at least kinda have a point, it's just not one based in reality.
Still amazing that that post is top thumbs in the thread. #Merica
Bought this crap last year for my m1 MacBook Air. Kept crashing at the same place even after multiple updates. Ended up eating the cost of it and then had to order again, the version for my windows laptop. That version worked fine
Next time, reach out to their customer support. They probably would have just given you a Windows key for free after you told them all the steps you went through to make the current key work. I've literally gone to their support with far less of a arguable case and they got me squared away quickly

One year I used HR block and I have a child going to school FT that I list as a dependant
well HR Block screwed that up and I had to do amended returns.
I ended up using an accountant who got me a few deductions in addition........ so unsurprisingly no more HR Block for me.
Funny thing is that this was not all that complicated until HR Block software screwed things up (I quadruple checked my entries)
It ended up a big win for me as it took a while so I ended up getting interest, and just happened to be that little bit extra I needed (in additon to that current years return) to pay off the house.... WOOT WOOT no more mortgage or HR Block.
TLDR H&R block got you the most return to pay off your house...
Funny thing about all tax software. Crap in = Crap out.
Yup. Tax software are merely tools. If you have complex return than need to know basic tax codes for given year. It is also notorious when filing single or multi state returns. And it is always funny when I see whoever goes to accountant find more refund. Only easy trick I have seen accountant use is say lets put some donation deductions. Yeah no proof required until audited. And with current congress out to kill IRS funding allocated under inflation reduction act of 2022 I don't see too many audits. And why we even need software to file? IRS should have simple online filing free for all like so many countries do.

What you wrote made no sense. It's the same thing. Are you asking if this is a physical disc versus download?
I believe he is asking about the cloud only version. I have the same issue that this deal doesn't seem to apply. I have used the SaaS version for the past 3 years and prefer it, so there is no install needed.

Is this a code I can use online or their actual software?
Newegg will send you a link to download the software on your computer. You will have to install the software. They will also send you a product code to activate the free federal returns filing. You still have to pay for the state returns filing.

The Repos change to the standard deductions essentially made mortgage interest deductions superfluous for most tax payers
