Free TaxACT Deluxe Giveaway

April 15th is right around the corner. Many of you have probably already filed your taxes. I know it’s late in the game, but TaxACT’s marketing department has given me access to 5 free copies of TaxACT Deluxe. TaxACT’s standard online filing is already free to you. Deluxe offers you access to additional information, free support if you have problems, and allows you to save your return directly onto TaxACT. TaxACT will provide email support to any type of user, but Deluxe users are provided with email support and/or phone support. They’ll archive it and next year, if you decide to use TaxACT again, you’ll have your return right there at your disposal. Also, having Deluxe allows you to file a state return for just $7, instead of the normal $13+. As a reader noted in the comments on the original tax post, you don’t have to pay for the state return until the end. If you’d like to, you can use TaxACT to derive your numbers, then fill in the numbers in your state return by hand and just send it in. This will save you money, in this case $7. I personally paid the $13 to have my return filed by TaxACT – it was worth that to me from a perspective of convenience. Do whatever you think is best based on your own time restrictions.

To be honest, I’ve never used the Deluxe upgrade. I have used TaxAct Standard for the last 3 years. I know you have a lot of options available to you when it comes to filing. I discussed some of those options previously in this post. Check it out. Since I’ve never used it, I can’t tell you to what degree it makes doing your taxes easier or more efficient. It would be great if I could get some feedback from someone that does use the TaxAct upgrade – or any of the upgrades really.

Anyway, if you haven’t done your taxes yet, and you’d like to be considered for the giveaway, please leave a comment on this post. If you’d like to leave a comment, but don’t care to be considered for the giveaway, just note that in your comment. If you wouldn’t mind, I’d appreciate it if you’d help me out promoting this giveaway. Please email this to anyone you know that might not have done their taxes yet…and tell them to comment.

I’ll allow comments until midnight on Friday, April 3rd. I’ll draw for the winners on Saturday, and contact you via email sometime on Saturday or, at the latest, Sunday. If there are 5 or fewer submissions, obviously I’ll pick those commentors will automatically get the copy of Deluxe. Hopefully we’ll get these in the hands of some people that need them and they get this return thing knocked out. Thanks for your help and thanks for reading.
