Sorry, here's the link to SlickDeals.net. The first post has the link to the rebate form.

This week's best deal for H&R block seems to be at Target. $45 for Deluxe Federal & State. Minus $10 Manufacturer coupon in last weekend's paper. Minus $10 Target coupon which can be printed from their web site. A $10 gift card is given with the purchase. And there is a $10 rebate.

For those who prefer miles (or in this case Southwest RR 2.0 points) you can get 1000 points (valued at $16.70) by using the link from the WN promo email for Turbotax. I will post later.

EXPIRED

I am seeing $62.18 with that link

My accountant was a pleasant old lady that passed away late last year, she did my taxes for years, so have no one to do them this year.

I am thinking of doing them online through TT rather than going to some overpriced tax place.
I see reviews for TT to be polarized, it is either loved or hated.
oh what to do?

TT
 

How difficult is your return? If truly a novice look at last year's return and see how many forms were required. That said, TT is very user friendly.

My experience with Turbo Tax
 

Here's what I did this year with Turbo Tax:

-Within my Citi Thank You credit Card statement, one of those mini-advertisements between expense lines was a 35% off Turbotax.

-I clicked that link, and saw that each Turbo Tax item was indeed reduced by 35%.

-I started my application, and proceeded towards the end, and clicked save.

-I revisited Turbo Tax WITHOUT going through Citi again, and the 35% discount still applied.

-I logged off, and then relogged into Turbo Tax through my Chase UR portal (8%) discount. As there didn't seem to be any restrictions about discount codes or rates, I believe my tax expenses for filing will get the 8% bonus. I clicked through the final steps and paid for the federal and state filings (state did not get the 35% discount).

++ If you are due a refund, do NOT choose to have them withdraw funds from your refund to pay for the Turbo Tax fees. That's an unnecessary $30 they charge you! Just pay with your credit card, and save a TON of money.

Bump. It's that time of the year.

Current price at Costco store for FY2012 Turbotax is $50 for Deluxe and $70 for Premier. Maybe wait to see if there is another coupon :) Can't do taxes anyway until tax rates are finalized (fiscal cliff) and us wage slaves get a W2.

Current price at Amazon is $48 for Deluxe and $64 for Premier.

Just a warning, I discovered that turbo tax has been overcalculating AMT for me for at least the past 3 years that I've checked. IT would behoove you to validate the figures on form 6251 against the worksheet in the instructions.

If that is true I am certain there would be a heck of a class action lawsuit there. Please consult an attorney.

Amazon has H&R Block At Home Deluxe 2012 on sale for $16.99. Free shipping with Prime (available free for one-month trial) or if you spend $25 or more.

Deluxe + State is on sale for $21.99.

Software download is also available without shipping fee.

This pricing is about as low as it gets.

Edited to add: Amazon "Gold Box Deal of the Day: Up to 51% Off Select H&R Block Tax Products." Valid 1/5/2013 only.

2012? No wonder I can't find it on sale!
