Where exactly is the link for the offer located? I had already registered my State Farm insurance accounts online and I clicked on the “my account” link but I don’t see anything about TurboTax. You can email me with details. Thanks!

Where exactly is the link for the offer located? I helped my dad register his State Farm insurance accounts online and I clicked on the “my account” link but I don’t see anything about TurboTax. You can email me with details. Thanks!

Hi Jim, thanks. My income is probably even less complicated then yours because I don’t own a house. Although I do have a second income like you … if you liked it and it worked for you, I’m sure I will find it useful too.

Thanks again and keep up the good work!

I’ve used them three years in a row and I plan on doing so this year as well but I have a pretty vanilla return (a small twist with the sole proprietorship income). If you have a lot of complicatedness, it might be worth it to use an accountant.

Hey Jim, do you use TurboTax? This is my first year that I’ll be doing my taxes personally instead of using my parents accountant. Do you recommend it? I apologize if you’ve made a post about it in the past.

Turbotax has deals with a lot of companies like that, offering filing for a discount or free. I think Vanguard offers it free if you invest enough with them, and a discount for others. I know I’ve seen it offered from other companies too.

Last year, I used taxact.com, which has free federal filing for everyone (although they *really* try to upsell you to their deluxe and state products).
