TurboTax Deals at Amazon, Sam’s Club, Costco: Deluxe Federal & State

Update 1/18/25. Amazon has some sale prices for the TurboTax + $10 Amazon gift card bundles (not Product only). Might be 1-day only, might last through the holiday weekend. 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 you can compare to see the lowest net price. Or compare and go with the Costco and Sam’s Club deals with $10 product credit 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

Costco also has TurboTax Deluxe Fed+State for $44.99 w/ $10 Add-on credit, 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 1/26/25.

Sam’s Club joins with TurboTax Deluxe Fed+State for $44.99 w/ $10 Add-on credit. Works out if you plan on paying for State e-File anyway. Ends 2/2/25.

You also get 5 Federal e-Files so you can file taxes for other family member in your household. (Click here 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 free State e-File option.

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 H&R Block Deluxe a more affordable alternative (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.
