TurboTax Deluxe Federal + E-File + State 2012 $40 + Free Shipping

Is there much difference between this and the online version? I've always done the online version, but looking at pricing, if I do my state also its $66 online vs $40 here. Usually you expect the online versions to be the same or a little cheaper.

Am I missing something or is this just the way to go?

This will do your state but requires another $36 or so to e-file it. Or you can print and send it in for free.

Staples WILL MATCH these Amazon prices and let you use coupons against the price. Buy it on Staples.com, open up chat with a CSR and they'll refund the price.

Premier is $56.30 right now. http://www.amazon.com/TurboTax-Pr...B009CCVMO0

ya all it really tells me is
"Provides extra guidance for investment sales such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and employee stock plans"
guessing its not really for me but still wasnt sure if someone had a more clear answer.

Ordered mine earlier this morning. I used to get it automatically shipped from Intuit until I realized they were charging me full retail price. You'd think they'd give their subscribers a better deal. Great program for doing my taxes. Been using it for about 17-18 years now. I remember when I used to get it on floppy disc back in the day.

Quote from deuce271 : You still need to pay to do the State E-File with this, correct?

if it is like last year, it depends on the state. NY has a law that companies can NOT charge for e-file of state returns if they let you efile fed returns. So it was free for NY. Not sure what other states it is free for

For the past few years I have used the online version. I do some banking with Vanguard and they offer a discount on TT, this year it is $19.99 for federal w/ e-file and an additional $36.99 for state w/ e-file, or $56.98 total. This deal is $40 for the software and state e-file is an additional $19.99, so $59.99 total.

I know when I do the online system they transfer info from my last year's return. Does anyone know if I can transfer info from last year's online return into the desktop version this year?

Last year I paid $32.45 for the online Deluxe version (through a BankOfAmerica discount link, iirc), though I file Federal only.

Now when I go to http://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/ it shows that Deluxe is normally $49.99 but is discounted to $29.99. Not sure how/why that discount shows up or if it will for everyone. *State adds $36.99, so this amazon deal is way better if you pay for state.

Click on the plus sign next to it. It tells a load of information.

State is not included in that version.

I got it last year on this deal:
http://slickdeals.net/f/3976470-T...aples-w-PM

and effectively paid <$10. May be a bit of a stretch, but I'm holding off for a little while longer in hopes of something similar. I have to wait until Mar/Apr for a K-1 anyway...

Thanks much, repped, you may even want to start a new thread for that one (assuming there's not one already, I didn't check). Now the only question that remains is if I had already planned a trip to Costco or if it's worth the $3 to just get it sent to me.
