TurboTax is Offering a Free Download of Their Federal Tax Return Software

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 29 /PRNewswire/ — Money-saving blog ChristianPF.com released an article discussing the new offer from TurboTax. TurboTax, one of the more established do-it-yourself tax software companies, has decided to allow consumers to file a Federal 1040EZ for free. The Free-Federal-Return offer has actually been around for a while, but only if you knew how to find it using the IRS website. Now TurboTax is prominently displaying the offer to all customers on their website.

According to the author, “I’ve used TurboTax many times in the past and have found it to be a great way to quickly process and file a tax return. I’ve never really had a situation that was too difficult (requiring the help of an accountant), so I have always just gone the do-it-yourself route.”

*An excerpt from the article:*

The TurboTax free edition allows you to file your Federal return for free and get a free eFile as well. The “catch” is that they charge $27.95 to file your state return. There are a bunch of places offering a free federal tax return, but only a few restricted offers allow you to get *free State Tax filing*. So TurboTax is probably banking on the fact that the free federal return will get customers in the door and it will be too inconvenient to file a paper return for your State taxes.

*TurboTax is also making some bold guarantees about the program as well…*

*Biggest Tax Return Guarantee

If you get a larger refund or smaller tax due from another tax preparation method, we’ll refund the applicable TurboTax federal and/or state purchase price paid. TurboTax Federal Free Edition customers are entitled to payment of $14.95 and a refund of your state purchase price paid. 100% Accurate Calculations Guarantee.

If you pay an IRS or state penalty or interest because of a TurboTax calculation error, we’ll pay you the penalty and interest. Satisfaction Guaranteed.

You may use TurboTax Online without charge up to the point you decide to print or electronically file your tax return. Printing or electronically filing your return reflects your satisfaction with TurboTax Online, at which time you will be required to pay or register for the product.
