Today only. Amazon has the 2012 H&R Block At Home Deluxe + State Tax Software package (PC/Mac) for $18 downloaded or with free shipping or orders $25 or more. Windows or Mac downloads are available for the same price. Includes five free federal e-files.
I'm using the Online version because it will do three states in addition to the federal. I live in NY and rent out a house in PA so I needed two states. Last year it made an error with my PA filing. It gave me a "PA Tax Forgiveness" of $20 because of my low PA income. In October I got a letter from PA saying I should have used my FULL income not just my PA (rental) income to compute the Forgiveness. Then I would not have been eligible. Thus I owed the $20 + $1.00 penalty + $0.29 interest. I just paid the $21.29.
This year, H&R is doing the same thing again. Using the wrong value for PA income. My emails to them go unanswered.
