Improved deal for TurboTax 2024 with additional $10 gift card. The benefit of “old-school” desktop tax software is that it doesn’t require your Social Security Number and income details to be stored in the “cloud”, a fancy word for a third-party server where it can be copied or hacked.
Amazon has the following bundles on sale:
Looks like this is actually the best deal you’ll probably find all year. You also get 5 Federal e-Files so you can file taxes for other family member in your household. (Click here to view the Amazon links if you can’t see them.)
State e-File is extra (now $25 per state). I would personally just print the (usually shorter) state return out and snail mail it in if you don’t have a free State e-File option.
Note that TurboTax Deluxe lets you manually input stock gain/loss information, but does not include “guidance”. For that, they’ll try to nudge you to upgrade to Premier. This is what makes H&R Block Deluxe a more affordable alternative (as it does include guidance for stock sales), if you are willing to make the switch. However, I also understand the urge to stick with what works and TurboTax does offer auto-import of many 1099 forms.
(Update: Costco also has TurboTax Deluxe Desktop for $45.99 for Black Friday, but instead of a gift card you get a $10 credit towards a future TurboTax add-on like State e-File. Similar initial prices to Amazon for Premier and Business. Expires 12/2.)
