The decision before the price
Choosing H&R Block tax software for business accounting starts with two questions: which tax year are you filing, and do you need a state return? The four Deluxe key-card listings here are all H&R Block, Brand New, and made for PC/Mac, but they are not interchangeable. The two 2025 federal-only cards stop at federal coverage. The 2024 Deluxe + State listing adds state support for a prior-year return. The 2025 Deluxe + State listing costs the most and gives you both the 2025 tax year and state capability. Once that split is clear, the $13.99-to-$24.99 price range is easier to read.
Quick take
Most people will choose between the 2025 + State version and the 2025 federal-only version. If you need state support for the 2025 tax year, the + State listing is the complete pick. If you only need federal, the lowest-price key card is the direct choice. The 2025 Federal Only listing is the middle federal-only option with a clearer title. The 2024 Deluxe + State listing exists for anyone catching up on a prior-year filing. The table below shows the listed prices and price bars.

Product notes
2025 H&R Block Tax Software Deluxe PC/Mac NO STATE Key Card Inside
The lowest listed price in this group belongs to the 2025 Deluxe PC/Mac NO STATE key card. It comes as a PC Card with a key card inside, and the listing says it works on Windows 10/11 and macOS 12 or newer for tax year 2025. The title makes the coverage clear: no state. If you are comfortable with a federal-only 2025 return and want the least listed cost, this is the most straightforward choice. The one limitation to keep in front of you is that there is no state return in this listing, so any state filing will need either a separate product or a different listing.
H&R Block 2025 Deluxe Tax Software PC/Mac Federal Only - Key Card Inside
The 2025 Deluxe Federal Only listing does the same federal-only job as the lowest-priced card, but it names the boundary in the title: PC/Mac, Federal Only, key card inside. It uses the same key card format, and the description limits it to tax year 2025 on Windows 10/11 and macOS 12 or newer. Its position in the price list is between the cheapest federal-only option and the two + State listings, so it works best if you want the federal-only terms made explicit before you buy. The limitation is the same as the cheaper federal-only card: no state return is included, and that omission is the reason the + State versions cost more.
NEW H&R Block Tax Software Deluxe + State 2024 PC/Mac (SAME DAY CODE ) READ
This listing is the 2024 tax-year alternative. The title says Deluxe + State, it comes as a Product Key Card for PC/Mac, and it is the only 2024 listing in this group. If you are filing a 2024 return that includes a state return, this is the listing that fits that situation. The limitation is the tax year: this is not the 2025 software, so anyone working on a 2025 filing should look at the 2025 + State listing instead. The key card format is consistent with the other listings, but the year is the deciding factor. If your paperwork is from 2024, this is the one that lines up.
H&R Block Tax Software Deluxe + State 2025 PC/Mac New
The 2025 Deluxe + State listing is the only product in this group that combines the 2025 tax year with state coverage. It is packaged as a Product Key Card, and the listing notes Windows 10/11 and macOS 12 or newer for tax year 2025. If you need both a 2025 tax year and a state return, this is the complete choice here. The limitation is that it sits at the top of the four listed prices, so you are paying more for that combination. It is still a key card, so the plus-state capability comes with a one-computer limit.
Final recommendation by use case
Start with the tax year. If you need the 2025 tax year and no state, choose the 2025 H&R Block Tax Software Deluxe NO STATE key card, shown at the lowest listed price in the table. If you need the 2025 tax year plus state, choose H&R Block Tax Software Deluxe + State 2025 PC/Mac New, shown at the highest listed price in the table. If you are filing 2024 with state, choose NEW H&R Block Tax Software Deluxe + State 2024 PC/Mac (SAME DAY CODE ) READ. If you want the federal-only boundary stated in the title, choose H&R Block 2025 Deluxe Tax Software PC/Mac Federal Only - Key Card Inside.
