Mine was also 1k but Boraxo Jr got an offer for 1500 points.

However this is a nonstarter for me as it is Only for online version not download.

The CD/download versions (that specify it, some specify federal only) have state TAX FORMS included, but not state e-file.

Same deal this week. I've never seen retailers like Best Buy and Target sit out this long........

I just forked over $49 for TT Fed+State from Best Buy. $10 off regular price. Used some BB Rewards certificates to get another $10 off.

On the plus side, H&R Block is apparently using this as a promotional tool:


The reaction against this year’s change has been intense: H&R Block, which offers both online and software products that taxpayers used to prepare about seven million returns last year, is offering a free download of its tax-prep software to people who have already purchased TurboTax software for 2014. Taxpayers can email [email protected] and include proof of purchase of TurboTax 2014 software.

Also note that Intuit has now backed off its mistake with respect to the upcharge for Deluxe -> Premier and is now offering rebates if you buy Premier.

To me sticking with TurboTax this year is really questionable regardless of Southwest points. Anybody with Schedule C, D, E, F or K-1s is almost forced into Premier. Which may have a rebate this year, but next year you're going to looking at the full bore.

Better to bail out now while Intuit hasn't done anything to eliminate file compatibility with other software. You know that's coming next.

Intuit's price gouging and greed definitely has me looking at the alternatives.

Nonsense. I've bought Premier (+state) for the better part of a decade now and it has always been $50-55. Just look for the Sams Club, Walmart, Costco, and Amazon offers.

I just bought H&R Deluxe for $19.99 at Office Max using Ink and the UR portal - 180 UR points. Not as good as a 1,000 points, but a whole lot better than paying $60 for Intuit's Premier or even more for Home and Business. Amazon's current prices are $75 and $85 respectively

And I really worry that next year Intuit will have it fixed so that you can't import prior year's data to a different tax program.

H&R downloaded Software and imported 2013 data with zero problems.

Let's see: $20 and 180 UR points, vs $75 or $85 and 1,000 points. Not a tough choice. And it may be the last year I'll have that choice.
