I was holding off for the premium because my wife is self employed and have business expenses to account for !!
Anyone else can confirm this?
Now I can keep track of my own taxes pay them and know about them for an outlay of $23. My father did not just pay $500 for the tax return but paid $400 a month to have his books kept. What would have cost me $5000 plus I can now do at home with two pieces of software that run about $70 for the year. It does not take long and even an idiot like me can do it. Do I really have to be piisy and angy about $3 bucks here or should I be jumping up and down with joy that I live in at time of unheard of wonders and ease that are accessible even to the not so bright common man? The value I have gained gained is enormous and almost unimaginable. It is not a matter of the cup half full or half empty, it is a matter of the cup overflowing and everybody being sour and cursing about it.
Companies like Block and others have lowered that price to me to $23 from $400 and the second is in much more valuable is in 70s and 80s dollars. I am personally gleeful and grateful as hell. I would even give them a good bit more but the miracle of competitive capitalism has had them lower the price to about as low as they can and still meet their fiduciary corporate duties required by law.
Many may be squeezing the goose that gave you the golden egg till they kill it.
I am really shocked by the frankly arrogant, entitled and greedy attitude of the typical American consumer. It is even not even good enough that another company, Slickdeals, offers us a way to get it significantly off storefront retail.
Don't get me wrong I want everything free and love my deals but that may be just part of inherent selfishness and evil nature. I sometimes try to get the better part of the bargain out of other people, such as my wife, she usually checks me and asks for something in return. That is not her being greedy it is her being smart and reasonable.
That type of selfish thinking has went so far that now many call for wanting all things free and for someone else to do their work of filling out our tax forms. That got us to the insane idea of the IRS just spying on all our transactions and billing us.
We only have the newfound ease and gain as other people did much work to bring it to us. It is not some great injustice that we have to give them some pittance for something very valuable. Cotton came free to the Democrat Southerners and we curse that system. Wouldn't it be nicer to just share some of your wealth for services and value gained ?
How did Block have anything to do with that or the systems they run that still use Cobol and floppy drives? Are you telling me that you think Biden and the IRS were under some control by HRBlock?
You do know that those that run the story you reference are big time players and got money from Sam Bankman Fried which most all that pushed for unheard of power grab by the IRS did the same. If you want to see real and blatant and in your face corruption poke around there.
I wonder how a place that pretends to be unbiased news organization but is in fact part of political machine is allowed to pass itself off as such. The owners there are big and super rich power players in the field of politics and the corporate world as well. ProPublica leans near totally left and is not trusted news source by any means.
They also leaked private citizens tax returns with the help of someone from the IRS or government and I wonder why one was prosecuted. You worry about molehills and ignore the mountains in plain site. You may be able to read a story but you figured out nothing except what to parrot. You do not put things together you look at isolated thing like it has meaning all by itself. The way you think does not take in the vast complex world. You look fo black and white and good and bad guys the world does no work like that

I also do wonder about your financial priorities and focus. Am I to to stress and cry about nickel when someone else is my wallet taking thousands? Am I to only worry and fret and think it great injustice that I have to pay $23 to do my taxes and think that yet ignore those that take near 50% of what I earn under threat of imprisonment.
I give Block about $20 year willingly for a service I value. The other takes more than half of what I am busting my @ss for. One has cost me maybe $300 over twenty years the other $400,000. I dd a quick calculation and I i could have invested my own SS money I'd be sitting on about 5 million right now and you advise me that I should get upset about $23 to Block for something I find value in and use.
Sold stocks or crypto? That goes to $170 plus state.
Oh you have dependents too? That will be $230.
Oh you have a rental property too? That will be $350.
Wait you earned interest too?? That's another $25.
You have 1099 income? $455
FreeTaxUSA doesn't charge extra for any of those. With or without the tax pro support.

Please stop confusing people with your insane in incessant hate for Block. What you put there and are listing doesn't have anything to do with this deal for this desktop version of Block.
If we could get you as upset about Propublica stealing people's tax information with the help of a government criminal, or the massive amount of sexual abuse of kids in the public school system you could do some good for the world. If Block has harmed somebody let them sue but none of that has anything to do with the software inthsi deal. I can tell people exactly how to get the most value out of it as I use it.
I advise all to stay offline as with this we do not have an ever changing fees online and this installed package is a known that stay the same year to year. You throw recommendation of every and all things not Block at people and have never even investigated or used them yourself.

You keep claiming that you have to spend $40 to get support from FreeTaxUSA and it's just not true. Basic support in the app or via email is included free. Deluxe support is $8 and adds live chat, priority support, and unlimited amendments. Pro support with a CPA/EA for personalized tax advice, live screen share and/or phone support is $40.
The closest block has to the last option starts at $89 (and up as I noted) in person or virtual and is what you made reference to earlier.

Direct paste from their site and do notice they do not answer their own question question which means there is no phone number unless you pay $40.

Again you share misinformation that does not apply to the product in this deal.
I can call, email and chat and get that all with the $23 price.
The prices you put up again only confuse as they are for the online stuff and do not apply to this Block installed version.
Install state-1 on computer-1
Install state-2 on computer-2.
On comuter-2 go to installation directory -> Program -> State. There will be directory with state-2 abbreviation. Copy it as-is to computer-1.
Now you have both states on computer-1
Enjoy!
I will give you a word of advice. About 85% to 90% of comments you see in the threads for these deal for Block for some reason are outright misformation, confusing or just useless.
We get people that just don't know and share impressions or stray thoughts off what they think it is, we get others that repeat misformation they heard and did not verify of it is true, we get others that hate Block for political or philosophical reasons and try to make it appear terrible or a ripoff to dissuade people from buying to punish Block and we get those that confuse the online and installed versions.
Only listen to actual users would be my advice. Take that advice to nay thread or deal as this site is not what it used to be when users tied to help and advise as to how to get the best value out of product or what to be wary of with product. There is to much stillness and foolishness and not enough real information truth and help anymore.

Really do appreciate the thanks and am glad I helped.
That is how I have been doing them for near twenty years.
These kids with their cell phones can have the very limiting and more expensive apps or online stuff and I don't not know why TT users are willing to pay so much.
I don't want to swear to it as I only heard it from another user on SD but he said he used Basic to do what we are doing and never knew he was missing anything.
I only got into this rabbit hole of having to warn people of upsells as I had purchased Deluxe of a SD deal to do my taxes for personal and business as I had always did then saw many comments saying it no longer did business. I almost fell for the loose talk but chanced opening and installing as I had heard nothing about them taking it out and knew that when TT did try do that the online uproar and bad PR had them going back and putting it in again. I didn't think Block would dare try and I was right.
What has changed was the boxes and literature. At one time it was listed on the Deluxe box that it was for "business" but new wording "recommended" Premium. Marketers and salesman are sneaky and manipulative in other words. They push right to the edge of legality.
That was probably ten or more years ago and the members here still say things they have not verified and are still doing it. Granted Block makes it hard to determine what you need as you know.
Hope you share the word as well and I do try to get to every thread but probably miss some. Even when I get to them they are so cluttered up with goofiness and misformation it is hard to the message out. I get accused of lying about it all the time as people have taken marketing to heart and do not like the now held corporate instilled belief challenged.
I find out many things about human nature in these forums.
