@Scott Sk yes IRS didn't finalize this mess until 2/11 which affects everyone, see comments from @CatinaT1 in this thread.
I don't think you're comparing the same services in your cost comparison, "live assist" will make it more expensive and I don't think that HRB number includes state. Looks like HRB has an offer for new clients tho. All these online options are more expensive - TT Desktop s/w versions have run about $50-80 with discounts this year (plus $25 to e-file state).
Good luck with your filing.
