| Looking for a cheap copy of TurboTax deluxe |

This may not be the right forum, but I rarely post in the other forums.
Anyway, I'm looking for a cheap copy of turbo tax deluxe, it's 45 bucks at BB and I'm not spending that.
Would Fidelity, or American Funds be able to provide me a copy for download since I am a client? (My IRA and 401k)
Any help would be great, thanks.

Check to see if you have any benefits through your employer or investment companies.
I had already efiled my taxes with Turbotax 2 years ago and then found out that if I simply went to their website through a link on my 401K companies (Vanguard) website, I could have done my taxes for 1/2 price.
If I ever get to $250,000 in my 401k, they'll let me do it for free.

Fidelity does have complementary access to TurboTax Online Premier for "Active Traders" (120 trades/yr and $25k in assets). But it takes 500 trades/yr ($4000 or more in trade fees!) to qualify for TurboTax Deluxe software package.
I have enough trades to qualify for Active Trader Pro software, but not enough to qualify for online TurboTax.

Just curious, but couldn't you split the cost by getting a few friends together that wanted to use it on your computer? Maybe even have you help them.
I know you can't pass it around, but can more than one set of taxes be done on the same computer?

I used Taxslayer this year for my taxes. It was $10 for federal and state was free. I did them with Turbotax first and the numbers came up the same so I efiled with the less expensive one.
Cheers!

I used TaxAct several years ago to free e-file when I got refunds. When I did my taxes this year on PDF fill-out forms first, I figured I was due for a small refund this year. So I checked out TurboTax, but the version I needed was sort of expensive even with Fidelity's 25% discount.
So I went back to TaxAct http://www.taxactonline.com/ and used that. Anyone with any income can free e-file federal, but I opted for the $9.95 because I think they retain records for next year filing, but they only save the filled out forms through October unless you pay extra to save the forms for 3 years. That is not an issue since I download and saved the filed forms.
I also went through the state there just so the records would be correct, but used Illinois' own site to free e-file state. I already received my state refund and federal should be in my account March 14th.
