Win a copy of TurboTax Premier right HERE!
UPDATE: I did confirm with the PR agency that these codes also include 1 FREE STATE EFILE! That’s a $36.95 savings on top of the $49.95 discounted cost of Premier for a total $87 value!
Update #2: I’m adding a Turbotax Deluxe Online code to the giveaway!
Actually, I have 2 copies of TurboTax Premier Online to give away! I attended a happy hour sponsored by TurboTax a few weeks ago and got some swag to give away to my readers. I’ll actually have a couple copies of the Deluxe Online version to give away later, and I’m currently using a copy of Deluxe for my own taxes.
I previously used H&R Block TaxCut Online for about 4-5 years until I got fed up with their system; I never quite knew if I was answering the question correctly. So I tested out TaxCut, TaxAct and TurboTax at the same time two years ago, and found that I liked TurboTax the best, by far. That year I used the desktop version, but last year I used the online version…and it’s just as good as the desktop version (without all the worry of saving the files locally and losing them).
First, do you need TurboTax Premier
I’ll admit that Premier is for a small subset of tax filers. Even with my side income from my blog, Deluxe is good enough for me. But free is free, and you can use Premier even if you would normally just use Deluxe. However, check whether you can file for free through the IRS. There’s certain income restrictions for that program.
Next, if you can’t file for free through the feds, but you only need to file a form 1040EZ, then you can use TurboTax Online Free Edition. State filing is still extra, but I have my own ways around that, at least from experience in MD and VA, but your state may differ. I like let the tax software complete my state taxes, but then I go to the state website and plug in my numbers and file for free! Yes, I even told the TurboTax VP this secret, and they’re fine with it, but we both agreed most people won’t go the extra step when they can just file from within the software.
Alright, can’t file for free through the IRS or TurboTax? Then I guess you can enter below 🙂
