My TaxCut Deluxe Federal + State deal

I read this post by 2Million last week and at the time printed out the Wal-Mart page he links to. The print-out said OUT OF STOCK at Wal-Mart, so I really was not sure this would work. But I did put the print-out in my bag figuring I may or may not make use of it. Earlier in the month I had received a free copy of TaxCut Standard. So I knew I needed to visit a store to purchase the state version at some point.

Well, today I went to Staples and this is the result:

1) Picked up a TaxCut Deluxe + State on sale for $24.99

2) Showed cashier my Wal-Mart printout for $19.96 and asked for a price match. After calling her supervisor and some back and forth they agreed to honor 110% price match ($24.99 - $5.53 = $19.46 + $0.97 (5% MA Sales tax) = $20.43

3) A Rebate form printed out with the receipt, so came home and went to Staples Easy Rebate website and entered the info to qualify for a $15.00 Staples Gift Check. As you can see below this offer is good from 1/15/2006 - 1/21/2006. So, $20.43 - $15.00 = $5.43 for TaxCut Deluxe Federal + State!

4) In the TaxCut Deluxe + State is an E-file Rebate for $15.95 off your electronic federal filing fee. The box also includes a bonus DeductionPro CD, a rebate for the cost of the software back if you decide your taxes are too complicated and go to an H&R BLOCK tax professional to finish them, and a rebate for Microsoft Money 2006 (basically free after rebate).



If you are interested in doing this make sure to purchase it by 1/21/2006 at Staples. If you are interested in my free copy of TaxCut standard software send me an Email - but be aware you will need to purchase a state version (unless you live in a state without income tax) and you will have to pay the full cost of e-filing or print out your federal return and mail it in.

Thanks again to 2Million for posting about this deal!

    So...what will be your total net cost after e-filing Fed and State?

    I have not actually filed yet, but here is the cost info from the TaxCut website:

    The charge for e-filing a state return through TaxCut is $15.95 per return.

    You may electronically file five (5) federal returns with TaxCut at a cost of $15.95 each. With your purchase of TaxCut Deluxe and TaxCut Premium you can electronically file one (1) federal return for FREE after mail-in rebate. To receive your $15.95 electronic filing rebate, please complete the original rebate form included with your purchase and send in with all required proofs-of-purchase to the address specified on the rebate form.

    So total cost for both Federal and State WITH efiling (and after rebates) is:

    $15.95 + $5.43 = $21.38

    Of course you could always just print out your Federal and State tax returns and mail them. In that case you would save the efiling fee.
