(Update #3: Sam’s Club joins with . Works out if you plan on paying for State e-File anyway. Ends 12/2.
Update #2: Costco also has , so instead of a $10 Amazon credit you get a $10 credit towards a future TurboTax add-on like State e-File. Compare prices to Amazon for Premier and Business. Ends 12/2.)
Update: The prices keep changing. Check Amazon again on Cyber Monday. The benefit of “old-school” desktop tax software is that it doesn’t require your Social Security Number and income details to be stored in the “cloud”, a fancy word for a third-party server where it can be copied or hacked.
Amazon has listings for both the products alone and in a bundle with a $10 Amazon gift card. The prices for both keep changing, so I won’t list them anymore, but I would recommend checking on actual Cyber Monday as that is also historically the lowest net price. Or compare and go with the Costco deal below if you know you’ll pay the state e-File fee.
The products alone:
- TurboTax Deluxe Federal Only
- TurboTax Deluxe Federal + State
- TurboTax Premier
- TurboTax Home & Business
- TurboTax Business (Partnerships, Corporations, LLC, Trusts)
The bundles:
- TurboTax Deluxe Federal Only + $10 Amazon Gift Card Bundle
- TurboTax Deluxe Federal + State + $10 Amazon Gift Card Bundle
- TurboTax Premier + $10 Amazon Gift Card Bundle
- TurboTax Business + $10 Amazon Gift Card Bundle
You also get 5 Federal e-Files so you can file taxes for other family member in your household. ( to view the Amazon links if you can’t see them.)
State e-File is extra (now $25 per state). I would personally just print the (usually shorter) state return out and snail mail it in if you don’t have a .
Note that TurboTax Deluxe lets you manually input stock gain/loss information, but does not include “guidance”. For that, they’ll try to nudge you to upgrade to Premier. This is what makes (as it does include guidance for stock sales), if you are willing to make the switch. However, I also understand the urge to stick with what works and TurboTax does offer auto-import of many 1099 forms.
