Tax Day is April 15 this year, meaning you have less than a month to file without penalty or needing to file for an extension. The cost of filing with a tax service increases the longer you wait, and if you’re anything like me—and have complicated taxes—you’ve procrastinated. Take this as your sign to file now. TurboTax currently has a deal running for federal and state filing combined for only $150 for Expert Full Service for new customers, but this deal is only good through March 18.
TurboTax has three tiers of services for filers: DIY, where you file yourself with step-by-step instructions; Expert Assist, where you can get help from tax experts throughout the process and have the expert review it before submitting; and Expert Full Service, where you can get your taxes done completely by a local tax expert. Prices vary for each tier, but Expert Full Service is not inexpensive—federal starts at $89 to $129, and the final price varies based on the complexity of your taxes. Plus, state taxes are an additional fee of $59 per state, so if you have a lot of forms and/or states, this flat fee deal could translate to significant savings.
On that note, if you’re a small business owner or have a complicated tax situation, Expert Full Service is probably worth a look. Having an expert file for you is best for those with S Corporations and partnerships; TurboTax will even match you with a small-business tax expert who knows your industry to maximize your deductions. With this service, you can choose to hand off your taxes online or in person. The tax expert will then handle everything about your taxes, sign, and file for you. Plus, you’ll only need to pay the $150 after your taxes are filed.
This offer only applies if a TurboTax expert didn’t file for you last year. If not, the final price varies based on the complexity of your taxes and forms, and state is charged separately.
To get this deal, start filing with TurboTax Expert Full Service or select “prefer to hand off to an expert” when prompted. If you’re eligible (meaning you didn’t have a TurboTax expert file taxes for a 2024 personal tax return), your discount will be applied at checkout when you file by 11:59 pm ET March 18.
