The annual tax software discounts thread
I did a few searches and don't see the annual thread(s) on tax software discounts yet. If I've missed one, my apologies. If not, I guess now is as good a time to start as any. I believe ebates is showing a small discount on the Turbo Tax Deluxe software but when I use the ebates link it doesn't show anything different from the regular Turbo Tax price of $29.95. Others?

A lot of insurance companies/credit unions/etc. do this. But the downside is that it is via the web so it is slow and you don't wind up with a file that you can refer to if there are problems years later.

I've received the Costco coupon book with coupons for 1/7, but there's no TurboTax coupon in it. However, every year around the end of January they've sent out coupons for it.
BTW, be sure the updates for the AMT changes are applied to your program before you file.

Staples sometimes sends discount certificates. Or you can buy one for cheap at ebay.
I got a $20 off $100 certificate in my email from Staples. I got:
MONEY PLUS DELUXE 2008 Price: $39.99
WINDOWS LIVE ONECARE 2 Price: $39.99
TAXCUT PREMIUM FED Price: $19.99
TAPE DISPENSER CORE-CLEAR Price: $.28
Subtotal: $100.25
Delivery: FREE
Coupon: -$20.00
Tax: $4.01
Total: $84.26
I will get $80 in rebates and about 1000 airline miles (credit card + portal miles + portal bonus)
