TurboTax 2009 online deals

This is a roundup of the current promotions on the online version of TurboTax tax preparation software, the kind of software I have used for several years and will use this time as well.

Pick the type that fits your needs (Basic, Deluxe, Premier, or Home & Business), compare the prices below, and use the link to go to the promotion page. Bookmark it and make sure to use the same link every time you go back to continue your taxes.

It looks like I will go with Fidelity or USAA again this year. I need Home and Business (both federal and state) and these companies offer the best discount combination. Please tell me which software you use. Also comment if you know any other on-going TurboTax promotion and I will update this blog post.

    As of right now, Amazon actually beats them all for Deluxe Federal & State: $39.62 (except the Vanguard Flagship customers free one).

    This is the download version from Amazon. I’ve bought downloaded software from them before and been very happy. (if you want the disc and box: $40.37 w/ free s&h, still cheaper than all above except the free one again).

    I didn’t go through all the versions and State only or Fed only to see how those compare but Amazon is worth a check for the version you need.

    Thanks for this page each year: I got TT through the State Farm discount one of the last couple years after finding out about it here.
