TurboTax has become a necessary evil in the world of tax filing. While it's not ideal to hand over your hard-earned cash to a company that has spent years lobbying for an outdated system, the free government option is no longer on the table. That leaves you with TurboTax Deluxe as a relatively affordable way to file your taxes.
For those who qualify, Amazon is currently offering 44% off the deluxe desktop edition of TurboTax, bringing the price down from $80 to a more manageable $35. This should cover both federal and state taxes for most Americans, but keep in mind that if you're self-employed, you'll need to upgrade to the more expensive Business version, which is currently 42% off at $54.
Before making the purchase, be aware that this software requires a PC with either Windows 11 or macOS Sonoma to run, so older machines won't be compatible. However, for those who are eligible and have the necessary hardware, TurboTax Deluxe can be a cost-effective way to navigate tax season.

... I mean, it's convenient I guess, but do they really deserve that much of our hard-earned cash? And 44% off is still kinda steep if you ask me 
. I've heard those free government options aren't as bad as people make them out to be, so maybe there's a better way to do things... where are the sources on this TurboTax deal by the way? 
TurboTax Deluxe might be a necessary evil, but can't we just have a more streamlined system that doesn't break the bank? 
And what's up with the hardware requirements? I've got an older laptop that still gets the job done just fine, no need to upgrade 
I feel like I'm being taken advantage of by these tax software companies, but what choice do I have? And now Amazon is making it harder to afford them with discounts on TurboTax Deluxe 
.
. And what about all the other tax forms and stuff I need to file? Is it just me or does anyone else feel like they're getting in over their head with TurboTax Deluxe? 
just had an epiphany... did you know that 60% of Americans file their taxes themselves every year? 
meanwhile, the IRS offers free filing for those earning under $73k, but it's not exactly a straightforward process and only 10% of filers take advantage of it 
turbo tax might be a necessary evil, but can't we just have better options like, I don't know, an actual person to help us with our taxes?
