Maybe a slight diversion: from Mileage Mall, you can see the FF programs which will give you miles for purchases at Dell.com, where you can buy/download tax programs.
At least I think it works . . . I attempted this route with a purchase of a download of H&R Block Tax program last week for USAir miles. Nothing I see in the restrictions makes me think it does not work. Too soon for the miles to post at this point.

I would do a search on Dell before buying anything from them and actually expecting to get miles. Several threads here about how bad they are. Actually, I've never seen one comment where some did get any miles from them.

If you decide to download (as I do since I want to work offline and only upload the final returns for filing) the CapOne, BofA and Vanguard discounts are all the same: Federal and State Deluxe is $44.96 and Premier is $67.46 - includes Fed eFile.
Not much of a "discount" when you consider that Amazon is currently selling the same download for $39 (CD is $42) and $61 (CD is $64).

Just got an email from Capital One with the 25% discount. Here's the link.
FWIW, I got both the discount and Delta SkyMiles (through skymilesshopping.com) this past year. And I didn't even use my Cap One card to pay for it.

I don't have the coupon with me, but anyone who uses Costco may want to check the Costco flyer. We just got our flyer in the mail a few days ago. There's a coupon for $10 off TurboTax that runs from January 5 until the end of January.

The trouble with the discounts you see online are that they charge quite a bit extra for the state s/w. Then the total is usually more than Costco's price.

Prices at costco were not too impressive, $70 for the Home Premier (before coupon). Compare with last year's amazon prices, and the often impressive specials at best buy and office stores.

Tax Software
Fidelity and Vanguard offer good discounts to their clients, as do other banks and brokerages.
Most offer basic and deluxe version of Turbotax for free web based returns with free federal filing.
I was able to download Turbotax Deluxe for free from Vanguard, due to type of account. Fidelity does only allow online returns for free. Bank of America also has discounted versions.
Try Googgling it.
