Since I purchased the 2017 version of H&R Block tax software, I just received an email with a link to pre-order the 2018 version for $29.95. The "full" price is $54.95, so this is $25 off for ordering early.
The 2018 software is estimated to be released and available for download on 11/9/18.
There is one upsell - Unless you pay $5.99 for the "Extended Download Service", you'll only have a 60 day window to download the software.

Other than last year's unacceptably long delay to get the tax planning feature added, I had no major issues with the software.
Are there any other on-going deals for tax software? So far, $29.95 is a really good price.
