Good 1/26/2014-02/01/2014
Best deal I've seen so far on the H&R Block software, but not good enough for me to buy it yet......

Looks like it's time to revive our annual tax discount thread for 2015!
Note for some the bad new from TurboTax: Anyone filing a 1040 schedule C, D or E will be required to upgrade from Deluxe to Premier. See WSJ link (subscription required):
http://blogs.wsj.com/totalreturn/201...ions_yourmoney
On the plus side, H&R Block is apparently using this as a promotional tool:
The reaction against this year’s change has been intense: H&R Block, which offers both online and software products that taxpayers used to prepare about seven million returns last year, is offering a free download of its tax-prep software to people who have already purchased TurboTax software for 2014. Taxpayers can email [email protected] and include proof of purchase of TurboTax 2014 software.
Updating:
Amazon Prime offer:
TurboTax Deluxe: $49.97
TurboTax Premier: $74.99
Costco Online offer:
TurboTax Deluxe + state: $39.99
TurboTax Premier + state: $54.99
Vanguard customer offer:
TurboTax Premier: $24.99+36.99 state (online only)
TurboTax Premier: $39.99+36.99 state (online only)

To me sticking with TurboTax this year is really questionable regardless of Southwest points. Anybody with Schedule C, D, E, F or K-1s is almost forced into Premier. Which may have a rebate this year, but next year you're going to looking at the full bore.
Better to bail out now while Intuit hasn't done anything to eliminate file compatibility with other software. You know that's coming next.

I just bought H&R Deluxe for $19.99 at Office Max using Ink and the UR portal - 180 UR points. Not as good as a 1,000 points, but a whole lot better than paying $60 for Intuit's Premier or even more for Home and Business. Amazon's current prices are $75 and $85 respectively
And I really worry that next year Intuit will have it fixed so that you can't import prior year's data to a different tax program.
H&R downloaded Software and imported 2013 data with zero problems.
Let's see: $20 and 180 UR points, vs $75 or $85 and 1,000 points. Not a tough choice. And it may be the last year I'll have that choice.
