I have used H&R Block TaxCut for several years now, and always get the email reminders around this time of year to get the new version. Then I have to order online or pick up at a retail establishment. Thanks to the folks at H&R Block, it's much simpler this year based on the reminder I got yesterday...

This year, we're making it easy to get your 2005 tax software. We're sending you a CD that has everything you need to do your federal and one state tax return.

You'll get TaxCut Deluxe federal software plus one state program for just $29.95 (a $50 value).
