How much will it cost you to use TurboTax?
The prices for the four different paid versions of TurboTax are shown here. State filing is an additional $36.95. This means that TurboTax Deluxe Online with state filing will set you back $66.90. If you have a home business, you might have to use TurboTax Premier ($74.95). Add in the state filing, and you’re up to $111.85.
I just saw TurboTax Deluxe over at Target (yes, I still use brick-and-mortar stores) where it was on sale for $49.99. However, there was a $19.95 fee for state e-filing. Figure in our local sales tax, and it will cost you $73.97.
There is another free version of TurboTax (“Freedom Project”) over here. This one includes certain states but not others. You must have under $31,000 adjusted gross income to take advantage of the Freedom Project, unless you are on active military duty ($57,000 limit) or qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit.
