Great deal. Fine print shows it includes the $10 credit for state filing like Costco. I purchased, so now I can go to bed, and I don't have to wait for Costco or Amazon to wake-up.
If you're locked "Intuit" (see what I/they did there?), then pay the piper, but other safe, easy (and even more free direct file) alternatives to TurboTax exist. Maybe saving $30 isn't worth it to you to have to type things in fresh for one year, inertia in a chaotic world is a barrier for sure. Just remember Intuit has repeatedly and exhaustively lobbied to keep the government from removing their past near-monopoly by trying to prevent the IRS from releasing effective, free direct file online.
I recommend freetaxusa.com, been using it for 10+ years. Free federal, state is ~$15. If you want deluxe everything you might pay 30-$40 for unlimited corrections/re-filings/etc.

Most other apps will let you load last years taxes to get started.
What is the difference between this TurboTax Federal + State for $45 and the H&R Block Federal + State for $25?
(Don't come in with the "but with xyz site it's FrReEEee")
TurboTax state e-file fee is $25, H&R Block's is $20. Otherwise, they are generally pretty similar quality currently, but that hasn't always been a given, particularly for the state portion. I suspect low population states are where the significant difference resides.

I guess my question is why there is a $20 difference if they are generally the same and both come with e-files.

This is what I have observed , I have been flipping between HR Block and Turbo Tax . I see Turbo Tax has more partnerships to import tax information from for 1099.
