Also, the poster is newish so might not know this, but "$ off" or "% off" posts aren't done here because they're not useful. It doesn't mean anything, and those offers are often deceptive.

At least one of the prices should be in the title and in the post. So it may be how the post was done, and the fact that it wasted a lot of peoples time, as much as this specific deal

I used deluxe with a home based business and also buying & selling stock.
TT Deluxe may tell you while entering info you should upgrade to Premier. Just ignore and proceed with Deluxe

This Costco offer for TurboTax Deluxe + State at $45 ($56-$11) is essentially the same as the Amazon offer in the link from last year but includes a $10 TurboTax credit (e.g. to e-file state taxes) instead of a $10 gift card.

How much you want to bet that Amazon posts its sale the day Costco's offer goes live.

I think Sam's has the CD version that always syncs in my experience. I know there are cheaper ways, but if you're sitting on 10 years of TurboTax data and programs in your PC, it's painful to switch.
According to TurboTax, they have discontinued making physical CD versions now.

Quote from bizdock :
Does the business version include personal also? Or do I have to buy a business version and a personal one?
For TT, the business version does NOTinclude personal. You have to buy the personal in addition. What's more, the business is only the federal return. If you want a state return, you have to pay extra for that (maybe $50?)
**** H&R Block has a bundle (on sale at Newegg for $45) that will handle both business and personal. I believe it includes states for both. That's way cheaper.
**** And yet I'll be buying both from TT and gritting my teeth over the much higher price. If you have a straight-forward return, H&R Block is as good as TT. But if you have complicated stuff (someone mentioned ESPP, which applies to my wife, and I have rental income in addition to QSBS capital gains), my experience is that H&R Block doesn't handle it as well. And when it comes to Trusts and Estates returns (which is covered by the business software), H&R Block is basically little more than an electronic version of the IRS forms . . . and a buggy version at that. Believe me, I'd love to find a cheaper option than TT, but for complicated returns, it's better than H&R (and still much cheaper than hiring an accountant.)
**** Note that TT is still not perfect. TT doesn't do everything. For example, I got a form 8986 in 2024 that Turbotax won't be able to handle and I'll have to do it manually (and that means no e-filing). But I can't imagine there's any way that H&R Block will handle it either . . . in my experience, it's much less sophisticated on these kinds of things, so I'll do my best with TT and make manual adjustments.
**** P.S. If Amazon price matches tomorrow (fingers crossed), you should be able to use no-rush credits on the versions without a $10 gift card, but you won't be able to do that if you want to buy the version with a $10 gift card. For me, I've been stockpiling no-rush credits just for this, so I'll take the $10 hit and buy the software only version.

This is probably the one thing I wouldn't buy from Costco. If you have previously used TurboTax, this one doesn't sync with prior year tax returns so it takes longer to do the returns and doesn't help with automatic recordkeeping.
i have purchased from costco and from amazon and only used turbo tax, never had any issues over the years with syncing prior year data....

Quote from jojocat :
Why in the world is there still such thing as a desktop version? Is this discounted from the online version just because you're using some local computer processing power instead of their servers?
No, they are quite different products. In my experience, the desktop product is much more sophisticated (and allows you to edit the actual forms, etc.).

There are those of us who don't want their tax returns made available on the dark web when TurboTax inevitably gets hacked X years from now or tomorrow.

Stockpiling no-rush rewards is a dangerous game. Those credits float away into the ether so easily 😬

I have only been stockpiling no-rush credits that expire after March 1. Since I know I'll be paying a ton for Turbotax before then, it will not evaporate (although I do buy the occasional book or move in the interim).

Every New Year, when people are celebrating and getting drunk, I get a knot in my stomach knowing that I'll have to spend at least 30+ hours figuring out my taxes start to finish. And each minute is misery.
Pay a CPA to deal with the aggravation. They love this stuff.

Try April of 2024. I received an email recently stating someone signed into my account. I went ballistic & contacted their security team. They researched it and swore it was someone who accidentally used my ID and didn't actually access my data. I locked all 3 credit reports immediately. I previously used TT online years ago which meant my returns would be available to view. I swore I was going to get a CPA this year but here I am!

I usually file online. Don't see how this offers any savings.

desktop version exists because it is an easy way to cover 5 installations..


let's get this thread to 30+ pages of people that can't imagine that anyone's taxes could be more complicated than their own filing.
