$29.99 TurboTax PLUS Get Up To 10% Bonus On Top of Your Federal Tax Refund

Bookmark and Share

We just discovered this limited Time TurboTax Savings for Amazon Prime Members, and wanted to be sure to pass it along…

Amazon has a great offer on TurboTax for Prime Members ~ $29.99 for TurboTax Deluxe Federal + E-File 2014 for PC or Mac (retails for $49.99). If you plan to use this do-it-yourself tax software this year, you might not want to wait, as the price will unlikely stay this low for very long (historically, we’ve seen Amazon’s Turbotax price rise as Tax day approaches, and we expect this year to be no different).

Plus, Amazon is offering one of the best bonuses that we’ve seen anywhere ~ receive up to 10% bonus on top of your Federal Tax refund. Here’s how it works:

Get Up To 10% Tax Refund Bonus*! Use some or all of your federal refund to purchase an Amazon.com Gift Card from TurboTax and they will tack on an extra 10%! That means a $400 gift card purchase would become a $440 gift card*.

While we like to encourage people to save their tax refunds as a family finance priority, if you already have a purchase from Amazon budgeted, this is a great way to nicely stretch your buying dollars. *Learn more about the 10%  TurboTax/Amazon refund bonus and their terms and conditions here.
