I just picked up the premier version of Turbo Tax, include 1 state, for $59 with the $10 sale coupon.
I could have gotten it for less from Fidelity, but then would have to buy the state, bringing the total to more. As it is, I'll have to buy another state

I've always used Taxact (well, at least for the past several years). Substantially cheaper. Even with the discount codes on the competitor's software.

Amazon has H&R Block At Home 2011 Deluxe for $27 and same w/ state for $31.95. No tax (for most) and free shipping.
To those Turbo Tax loyalists, I used TT for over 20 years but switched to Block 4 years ago because of price and never looked back.

Man, I wish my tax situation worked for this stuff. I used TT for a couple years after leaving college and was lucky enough to be able to use it 1 additional time since. The rest of the time the combination of moving to different states or countries during the year and buying / selling rental properties has made a fantastic mess of things.
I'm a CPA with an IT background, and a long time turbo tax user, and can't figure out how to get TT to do what I want given my scenario each year. I farm it out for a couple hundred bucks and then double check the tax guy's work (they usually mess up once or twice).
I'm much better at ticking and tying than figuring out where to put stuff in the first place, apparently.
But, I fully support the use of TT for most people's tax situations (unless you're moving and flipping rental properties annually of course).

Best deal I've seen is the $35 HR Block Deluxe Fed & State at Best Buy with a $15 gift card. You can also get a $10 mail in rebate HERE.
