Comment On the other hand... (Score 1) 450

I'm expecting this comment to be very buried, but there is sort of a silver-lining. TurboTax will offer you 110% of your refund (for download/disc versions, 105% for online versions) if you take it in the form of an Amazon.com gift card. It doesn't take long for that to more than recoup the cost of the software, even if you have to move up a tier. What's more, Amazon is offering discounts for Prime members. If you're pushed (yes, I know, it hurts) into the Premier tier now, that is $54.99 for the download version. There will be an extra charge for the state file, if you so choose (but why bother). If you choose to get $600 of any tax refund as an Amazon GC, you've just recouped your $54.99, and come out $5.01 ahead (because you're getting $660 gift card for your $600 return portion). From there, every $100 more you put on that gift card is another $10 in your pocket. You can even have Amazon create an order report for you to see what you spent last year. I don't know, it's hard to get that upset about $10-$20 increase in costs for their software when they're giving me 10% bonus on anything from $100 to $10,000.
