Well, this is good news for procrastinators. Tax season is now extended—and with this Amazon deal, you’ll be more prepared than you think for the new due date on July 15. TurboTax Premier + State 2019 Tax Software is made for current and soon-to-be retirees, rental property owners, estate beneficiaries, and many more people with unique tax situations—and Amazon knocked $20 off the entire package for PCs and Macs. How great!
And best of all? You don’t have to wait to get it in the mail because Amazon has instant downloading for this software. Now you can finish your taxes sooner than later.
Using TurboTax Premier + State 2019 to file your personal taxes is like having a virtual accountant who will doggedly search through more than 350 tax deductions and credits—including mortgage interest, property taxes and energy-efficient home improvements—to find the maximum refund you’re entitled to.
If you sold stocks, bonds, mutual funds or options for an employee stock purchase plan in 2019, this is the TurboTax package you’ll want, too. It automatically imports last year’s tax return information plus all of this year’s applicable documents—from W2s to investment portfolios—then guides you through every step in the process of preparing your taxes confidently.
“Been using TurboTax for years and love it,” one shopper wrote. “I do have some stocks, so it’s what I need. For a long time I paid to have my taxes done and, then, decided to try TurboTax and I’ve liked it ever since. Very easy to use—from the first moment when you load the software on the computer, the prompts take you step by step. At the end, it analyzes everything and asks you to redo anything that is wrong or looks wonky.”
And I do mean confidently. The software is up to date on the latest tax laws and will double-check your work before e-filing it to the IRS and state agencies. TurboTax has your back every step of the way—and you can even call live representatives if you need a little extra coaching.
“I have rental property and stocks. The Premier edition works great,” another reported. “Last year totals line up side by side with this year and it is easy to see where you had an entry last year so you don't miss it this year.”
This TurboTax Premier + State 2019 deal is an Amazon Exclusive, and that means you get even more than you bargained for—in this case, you’ll get a free one-year subscription to Quicken Starter Edition 2019 (a $30 value) when you buy the TurboTax package. It’s a perfect way to get your financial footing for the new decade.
