SAVE $42.46: H&R Block Premium 2021 tax software is on sale for only $32.49 as one of Best Buy's March 7 deals of the day. That's 57% off its suggested retail price of $74.95.


For all the perks of freelancing or being self-employed — flexibility, working from home, being your own boss — doing your taxes has got to be one of the biggest pains. Between navigating special deductions, managing multiple income sources, and juggling quarterly payments, it's almost enough to make you pine for 9-to-5 corporate life. (Almost.)

On the plus side, getting a little extra filing guidance won't cost you a fortune: Best Buy just so happens to have H&R Block Premium 2021 on sale for 57% off as part of its March 7 deal of the day. It normally retails for $74.95 (ignore the website's deflated list price), but you'll pay only $32.49.

Designed specifically for self-employed people, freelancers, and independent contractors as well as rental property owners, H&R Block Premium includes five federal e-files and one for the state of your choice. Simply import your W-2, 1099, 1098, or last year's tax return to get started, and from there, you'll get guidance on more than 350 credits and deductions to help maximize your refund.

Your software includes access to a help center with over 13,000 searchable articles and an Accuracy Review tool that checks for issues, so you can file confidently well before April 18 rolls around.

Some important fine print: Best Buy is selling digital downloads of H&R Block Premium for Mac and Windows as well as a physical version that works on both platforms. They're all enjoying that same $32.49 sale price, but you'll pay an extra $5.49 for shipping if you go with a physical copy.
