Get 30% back as a statement credit by using your enrolled American Express Card to make purchases online at taxact.com by 04/15/2021. Limit of $60 in total statement credits.

Don't forget to add offer to card in Amex Offers section.

Terms:
Enrollment limited. Must first add offer to Card and then use same Card to redeem. Only U.S.-issued American Express® Cards are eligible. Limit 1 enrolled Card per Card Member across all American Express offer channels. Your enrollment of an eligible American Express Card for this offer extends only to that Card. Offer valid online at taxact.com and through the merchant mobile app. Offer is non-transferable. Limit of $60 in total statement credits per Card Member. The enrolled Card account must not be cancelled or past due to receive statement credits. Any benefit earned from this offer is in addition to the rewards (i.e. Membership Rewards or cash back) earned as part of your existing Card benefits, but your ability to earn spend-based rewards for the purchase will be based on the amount after any statement credit or other discount is applied. Statement credit will appear on your billing statement within 90 days after 4/15/2021, provided that American Express receives information from the merchant about your qualifying purchase. Note that American Express may not receive information about your qualifying purchase from merchant until all items from your qualifying purchase have been provided/shipped by merchant. Statement credit may be reversed if qualifying purchase is returned/cancelled. If American Express does not receive information that identifies your transaction as qualifying for the offer, you will not receive the statement credit. For example, your transaction will not qualify if it is not made directly with the merchant. In addition, in most cases, you may not receive the statement credit if your transaction is made with an electronic wallet or through a third party or if the merchant uses a mobile or wireless card reader to process it. By adding an offer to a Card, you agree that American Express may send you communications about the offer.

If your AGI (Adjusted Gross Income) is less than 72k the IRS Free file program may work for you.

https://www.irs.gov/filing/free-f...s-for-free




Try Credit Karma Tax software as well. Its free and works well unless you need to file in multiple states.

https://www.creditkarma.com/tax

Credit Karma Tax—is it really free?
Yes! Credit Karma Tax is always 100% free. It's $0 to file both state and federal tax returns. Even if you're taking deductions or credits, it won't cost you a penny, ever
.






Free Tax USA is also another free federal tax software (+ $12.95 per state - use code FREETAXUSA10 for 10% off)

https://www.freetaxusa.com/

Your comment cannot be blank.

Was with them many years. I dumped them 2 years back when they stopped $12 federal + state
For those that use TurboTax, Chase Offers has 10% off if you use:
- Sapphire Reserve
- Freedom
- Freedom Unlimited

there may be others but I have the above and saw it there. Not as much as 30% for this deal but some are picky on their tax providers
I have been using them forever but they keep raising the price of the downloadable software that it might be time to move on. I really liked the ability to fill in fields direct on the forms vs having to do the Q&A for everything.

After I imported my tax info from last year, an option for "All-Inclusive" popped up.
Quote :
Take advantage of 50% savings when you bundle these top products
All-Inclusive
Federal Filing - Access to all our online forms and schedules to file your federal return (Form 1040). You'll have access to all our online forms and schedules to file your federal return (Form 1040). This includes everything in our Free, Deluxe, Premier, and Self Employed Products. Regardless of your tax situation our All-Inclusive bundle has you covered.
Includes access to features like prior year import, My TaxPlan, Pro Tips, Deduction Maximizer, Donation Assistant, and Stock Assistant.
State Return - File one state return
Refund Transfer - Pay nothing up front by subtracting your TaxAct software fees from your refund
E-File Concierge - Personalized help to track your e-file status and fix a rejected federal return
Audit Defense - An audit professional will deal with the IRS for you

Bundle & Save $101.21
So if I was going to buy the self employed version at 25% off for $71.21 fed + $41.21 state = $112.42. The all-inclusive would be cheaper.

Thanks Dilbert, I was just researching this thread because the same offer popped up for me. I had two 2020 Self-Employed returns in my portal, each of which I must have clicked through to lock in some discount last year. One of them came up around $101 like yours; the other was even cheaper @ $94.46. Hard to see any drawbacks to this offer, so I'll probably accept it. The only other competitive offer is the one on Groupon @ $82, but doesn't include Audit Defense.

Ditched Taxact after almost 10 year and switched to freetaxUSA and could not be happier. uploaded my previous year tax return and everything was imported. Did not have to enter most information. Interface is way easier then taxact. was done in 10 mins.

Bye bye Taxact.

Wrong. Deluxe will do it.
not according to their website.

Deluxe makes no mention of stocks
Premier says: Easily import & record your capital gains
Quickly import all of your stock data or use Stock Assistant's quick entry tools. You'll save time, minimize errors, and get a final summary of your investment income.
