Does this package contain the tax program on a CD? null

NO. I purchased this 'physical' version of the H&R Block tax software because I have never wanted to use the "download from the cloud version", and it has always been on a CD in past years. SURPRISE - the 'physical' version refers to the BOX - there is no disk in the box! the instructions tell you to go to the cloud and download the software - which I could have done immediately when I ordered it, if I had wanted the cloud version. The box says it can be loaded on more than one computer, but does not say the maximum number. According to the Block site they have eliminated disks this year to save the planet. It is really misleading to advertise a 'physical' version and then not deliver. Bottom line - if you want tax software on CD this year - forget about Block apparently. The other programs all say they can import last year's Block data, and it may be time for us to switch. We have used the personal and the business versions of the software for years, but cannot recommend this year's. Good luck.

Once you registered your product with h&r block it's downloadable it will give you an activation code.

I was disappointed that it didn't. Not really a big deal since the program needs constant updating as the IRS updates forms. I just download the updates as they are released even when I have had the CD in the past.

Thank you for choosing H&R Block. H&R Block no longer offers tax software on disc. Our product can just as easily be downloaded and installed on your device - or multiple devices. You do have a choice between buying an electronic version where you will be emailed a link and activation code, or you can purchase the physical boxed version that contains a printed URL and activation code inside
