Just FYI, have an ARM based processor for Windows 11 and MalwareBytes does not install on it. Was actually looking to install it but can't do much now. Any suggestions? Contact NewEgg?

Already cheaper elsewhere compared to the "So Sorry we screwed up last year, here's a 50% off code" direct from HRBlock.
Where is it cheaper than $23?

link please. need premium
I found the ad and I'll include the link below. I did some quick research on BigHomeTax and I wouldn't recommend. Although they appear to have many happy customers, their issue is they seem to sell the same codes to multiple people. So you could luck out or you could find yourself with a code that is already being used and have to go through credit card company to refund. Also, most of my research pointed to customer service being nonexistent. If you like rolling the dice to save a buck, then suggest atleast doing a virtual card and register the product quickly. Seems about 2/3 reviews are good and 1/3 are bad.

I was commenting that even though H&R sent people affected by their outage last year a 50% off code, it's still cheaper to buy elsewhere.

You most likely do not need Premium. Deluxe or even Basic does all the same forms.

If that is the case you my want to delete that link from your post. You can always find something cheaper on shady key sites but leading people there is not a good thing especially when we are talking about something as critical as taxes.

Imagine someone clicks your link that you made easily accessible and buys and then finds out maybe near the tax deadline that the software does not work. You became part of the companies dirty work.

Yes I know people should read your post and others but we know human nature being what it is that your link may bring clicks and sales. Shady companies pay to gets links up for that and you are doing it for free for them.

The informational stuff is fine but posting a clickable link raises the chance of someone getting ripped off astronomically. Please take it down as you are not much off sharing a link to malware or similar. Sure it is unintentional and meant for information but it is not good.

you can wait all the time for the sub @20 price. I'd rather get it now since I need an estimate of tax so I can still make Q4-ES by 1/15.

You have a point but as long as you mail in something close to what you owe the chance of any penalty is slim and I usually will wait for the lower price as money is money and better me having it than a large corporation.

As to the underpayment penalty for business and personal taxes, I ran a small home improvement business for many many years and did not pay quarterly taxes more than few times. Believe I only paid maybe twice and usually not all four quarters for the year. I always ignored calculating the underpayment penalty for moral reasons and I think I only got a notice maybe twice that I had to pay an underpayment penalty.

Now with that business gone I still do sometimes get Block saying I should calculate a underpayment penalty for my return but I ignore that as well and have never had any problems. Someone else said the same thing, in this or another thread, about the second thing I brought up and even provided a link to some financial site saying that the IRS does not pursue or assign the penalty in most cases which means that if you do not willingly file the form or pay the calculated penalty give you may not have to pay it.

Take all that as YMMV but it did work that way for me with both business and personal taxes. I do still run a small Ebay business that is reported as self employment income and have never had any notice that I face penalty for not filing quarterly taxes on the business. I have got notice on the personal side but ignore it and have never got a bill or penalty.

Again YMMV and I am not a tax professional and only describe how I did things.

Not a fan of the HR interface. But at $22 compared to TT delux + state at $56 now on Amazon, I'm again tempted. TT saves me time.

Can you give an example of that. Are you talking just general look or some specific that makes Block harder or more troublesome for you?

I never have used TT due to the price but don't find Block's interface really problematic. I do find it irritating at times as the interview way for entering informations following the guidance takes much longer than jumping to form line and making a correction but I assume TT is the same way.

Considering switching from TT, due to TT prices this year but I'm confused by H&R Block's guidance on editions:
  • Premium: "1099 support"
  • Deluxe: "Had Investments"

    My knowledge is that if you had investments, you likely have 1099 forms... so if I have bought / sold investments and have an HSA, can I get away with Deluxe? If not, I might as well just stick with TT I suppose. Not been super pleased with TT, but many years ago I tried H&R Block, and due to an error in the state forms had to re-complete in TT which resulted in several hundred dollars in additional refund.

They kind of lie with the guidance. Deluxe has all you need and handles investments, 1099s, rental income and much more. Unless you have some obscure tax situation or need corporate taxes Deluxe should handle it.

All editions have the same forms and it is only the amount of guidance that you get that varies. I am speaking about installed versions not online ones. With online editions you get less available forms. online deluxe will not do 1099 income and you will have to pay to upgrade. Stay away form online versions in general as you pay more for less.

Here is the list of supported form s in Deluxe downloadable or boxed retail.

I've used H&R for years, 1099's, investment accounts etc and always buy the Deluxe. Never a problem. Tested H&R and TT a few times and always the same result. Too each is own.....

Exactly. I would pay 25$ from their "sorry" code. I do like the software but last year caused me so many problems. My daughter essentially got audited because we had to mail her return

Presume can install HRB now and wait to install and activate the other software later?

Also, has anybody had any issues to carry forward prior year TT .tax file?
