Groupon Deal: $30 of H&R Block Tax Prep Software for $15 (or $6.26 if you use ebates)

Today's Groupon for Gainesville, FL is $30 worth of items on H&R Block's website for only $15. The Deluxe edition of their software is $29.95. Click here to get this deal. You may need to change the city to Gainesville.

I purchased this deal earlier today, but I went through ebates to save myself even more money. Here's what I did:

1. Click here to sign up for ebates (it's a free program that gives you cash back for shopping online. New ebates members get $5 in their accounts just for signing up.)

2. Search for Groupon in the box at the top of the page. You'll see a few links come up that you can click on to go to the Groupon website. You will receive 3% cash back on your Groupon purchase for going through ebates to get to their website.

3. You'll need to change your city to Gainesville, FL to see the Groupon.

4. Purchase the Groupon for $15.

When you are ready to redeem your Groupon...

1. Go to ebates and search for H&R Block. You'll notice that they have an 11% cash back amount.

2. Click on the H&R Block link.

3. Purchase your items on the H&R Block Website.

4. Enter the coupon code you received from Groupon to have $30 taken off of your total purchase amount.

Let's just say that you decided to go with the Deluxe version of the software. If you go through ebates (it literally takes seconds to do an easy step that will give YOU money), here's how much you'll end up spending:

$15 to buy the Groupon

- $5 for signing up with ebates

- 45¢ cash back for purchasing the $15 Groupon using ebates

- 3.29 cash back for purchasing the Deluxe tax software from H&R Block using ebates

Total Spent (after cash back): $6.26 for $30 worth of Tax Prep Software
