You may even be able to snag the promotion if you just visit Fidelity.com and contact a representative! Even some insurance companies have, in the past, offered discounts on TurboTax software. Both Progressive and USAA have offered up to 25% off the software. Contact these companies or check out their websites for details.
Have an account with AAA? A discount on TurboTax is just one of the many discounts you can receive with this membership! In years past, AAA has offered as much as 25% off TurboTax Home and TurboTax Business. Contact AAA’s customer service or visit their website for more information on snagging this discount.
The IRS does offer a free file option, which is a federal income tax prep and electronic filing program for taxpayers that make less than $60,000 a year. The no-cost software lets you fill out necessary forms and find out about any tax breaks you might qualify for. It even e-files your taxes for you, so you might receive your refunds even faster! No only will you save money, you'll get money back as quickly as possible. This is a great option if you make less than the designated amount and need some assistance filing.
