A word of caution, anyone expecting to file form 8911 (credit for installing an EV charger at home for personal use), H&R Block doesn't support this. I have been filing with H&R Block for quite some time and am disappointed that it's not supported. I already got the program from the Newegg deal, now looking at alternate options. I have to either file with HRB and amend separately or file with TurboTax and get refund for HRB software

Deluxe Desktop should support all the same tax forms as Premium Desktop, though potentially with less guidance.
However, the online versions are different and have significant differences between Premium and Deluxe.
I was originally going to write that Deluxe Desktop supports everything that Premium Desktop does, but I see someone posted elsewhere that 2022 Deluxe Desktop doesn't support the (probably rare) situation of having all three of: (a) a loss on Schedule E, (b) income on Schedule C, and (c) ACA subsidies, while Premium does support it.
I had to stop using the software a couple years ago since they discontinued support for a form I needed in the Desktop edition, so I switched to something else.
I think the CD is pretty useless by itself, since you need to download the form updates anyways. I generally just save a copy of the installer in online storage if needed.
Do you have a link for that "rare situation"?. That is me and prob most self-employed individuals. As a Premium user for years I just purchased Deluxe based on some posts indicating the only difference is in the amount of guidance provided.
I am seeing on the list of supported forms that many features, including SE Health Insurance/ACA Subsidy iterative, will be available on 01/19/24. But I believe was supported for many years now (at least it was on Premium)
Free online state e-file for many (but not all) states:
https://thefinancebuff.com/free-efile-state-tax-return-direct.htm[thefinancebuff.com] This is the Capitalists America. Nothing is Free. So the smart IT experts, please find out how are we paying to the Financebuff? The users are giving away either personal data, or phone number, SS numbers, etc or may be giving them permission to access our Document directory!!!!
if u have simple w2 return, just use the free one; if u have something a bit more complicated, like investment and dividend, paid one is better. I tried 2 free ones last year for those income and it didn't support

Download a hard copy of form 8911 from the IRS web site. Determine your 30% credit. In the H&R Block software open form No. 3800. Enter your 30% credit on line 1s. of part III. I found it necessary to also enter the value in line 1. of Part I. Your credit should now show up under "Other Business Credits".
Is there anyone else who ordered this and is still waiting on the e-delivery? I made the order 26 hours ago, and it's showing in my "Open Orders" list and I haven't received anything. I would think digital products would come almost immediately.

You should probably check with them. I ordered 30 min ago and received both downloads within 5 minutes. Or maybe they're in your spam folder?

Thank you for the info!
I just chatted with them and it was because my first payment attempt didn't go through (I think I typed in the wrong CCV number) -- I was prompted to try again and it went through the second time, but this apparently causes their ordering system some problems. They said I should have it by end of day tomorrow/Monday, once the system "re-validates" the payment.

Weird that the paid H&R Block doesn't support it when the free ones do...

Yea thats one of the reasons I switched to the free ones, Free tax USA for the last several years.
No having to worry about getting the right one or paying more after the fact.
