YMMV Deal!
Check your email for your unique $30 Off $60 purchase at Staples online orders. The email came in yesterday (Feb 29) subject: We made a xxxxxx - here's your $30 off coupon. If you don't have it, go back to the original thread and see if you can trade for one since people are saying they cannot find anything to use it on.

Download vs online tax software comparison[thefinancebuff.com]
- Download Deluxe supports nearly everything that Premiere does, including investments, real estate, self-employment, etc. The marketing from Intuit is confusing here.
- When using download/desktop software, your data stays local, which is probably more secure (but make sure you have a backup!)
- Download includes 5 federal e-files and virtually unlimited printed returns.
- Downloaded state software allows preparation of state tax forms, but state e-file is an additional $20 per state. You can print and mail for virtually nothing. It is $40 to download the software for each additional state.
- Some states[thefinancebuff.com] allow free e-file on their dept of revenue website
- Online allows you to work from any device
- Online stores a copy of your tax return in the cloud for archival purposes and also next year's taxes
New this year - TurboTax licenses are tied to your Intuit account, making it a bit harder to share. You still can install on 5 PCs if you use the same Intuit account on each.
Some free options to try first...
1: FreeTaxUSA
(100% free for AGI $45,000 or less through FreeFile, Federal + State)
(no income limit, free federal, $15 for state) https://www.freetaxusa.com/
2: Cash App Taxes (Formally Credit Karma Tax)
(no income limit, free federal and free state) https://cash.app/taxes
3: OnlineTaxes (OLT.com)
(100% free for AGI $45,000 or less through FreeFile)
(no income limit, free federal, $10 state) https://olt.com/main/home/default.asp
One major advantage of H&R Block & TurboTax, download or online, is that they support importing 1099 forms from banks and brokerages. While this is definitely useful and can save some time, you often have to enter your passwords in their software, which some people are not comfortable with. With 1099 investment income, you can often enter aggregate data[hrblock.com] and not list each trade individually, which makes this much less painful that you might think.
Privacy concerns
Tax prep companies are required by law to get your consent before they can share your personal information with 3rd parties. If you are concerned about this, I recommend reading the privacy policies and/or license agreements from each company. Of course, you can avoid this issue altogether by using downloaded desktop software where your data stays on your local computer only. IRS FAQs Related to Strengthened Taxpayer Control over Tax Information[irs.gov]
"The general rule expressed in both the 1974 regulation and the 2007 regulation is that taxpayers – not the government - control their tax information. No tax information can be disclosed or used without taxpayer consent."
FreeTaxUSA Terms of Use[freetaxusa.com] "We do not and will not sell your information to third parties." OLT.com privacy policy[olt.com] "Specifically, we do not share, sell or rent your Personal Information to third-party advertisers, "spammers", or anyone else who we know will use it for their own advertising or marketing purposes." Cash App Taxes Privacy Policy[cash.app] - This one is a little more vague, read it carefully.
H&R Block and TurboTax online DO sell your personal information with your consent...but you can opt-out. See here[washingtonpost.com] for more details. Their free versions are quite limited and they also use deceptive marketing practices to try to upsell you to more expensive products. Both have been in trouble with the FTC for their deceptive marketing tactics.
i got the email but it doesnt seem to include a code, just "$30 off coupon code: .t". Weird, but thanks for the post. Was just looking for Turbotax Premier.
...it happens to the best of them!
Now, about that $5 TurboTax hack! LOL
i'm not cut out for non-travel deals honestly. this was my 2nd time doing this and inadvertently because i was copying-pasting. i'll try to stick to travel deals. ughhh.

correct....that was the first email a couple of days ago. they sent a follow up email yesterday, you might deleted it by accident. it has the word "mistake" in the email subject.

FreeTaxUSA, free federal, state taxes depends on what the state charges. You're submitting literally the same forms.
Don't buy this garbage software keeping afloat the same companies that lobby to make taxes complicated. How many hours a year are these bastards wasting of ours and we pay for the privilege?
i am hoping amazon or others will match this deal WITHOUT the coupon but it looks like i already set the tone for this thread by putting a bad word in the first post. and yea, i deserve the incoming abuse
if i don't use my 2nd one by march 4th and IF you haven't gotten yours, i'll give you mine. i'm pretty sure you'll get it as staples is making good on their screw-up with follow up emails.

States don't really charge for e-filing, but FreeTaxUSA does charge $15 per state for any state.

Some states [thefinancebuff.com] offer free e-file directly through their dept of revenue website.
