No link that i can find that works either. I'm sure it will be back by the time we need it. Is this online only or is it downloadable? I have used Turbo Tax Deluxe for a few years now.

Don't forget that when it's working and if you are not a State Farm customer, you can still get free filing through them with a new savings account and a $100 deposit. No fees to maintain and you could just close the account and get your money back afterwards, or keep the $100 in there for use again next year.

Could also open a credit card with them and stick it in a drawer, it's not a good card unless you already have a policy or other accounts with them.

I logged onto my account and there's a link (FREE tax filing) along the left side of the page, but when you click on the link it says it's not yet available. It displays...

"File Your 2006 Income Tax for Free
Coming soon for State Farm customers who are registered online and have at least one policy or account viewable online...
Once again, Intuit, the creators of TurboTax, have agreed to provide you the ability to file your 2006 income tax online free of charge. Please check back after the first of the year to take advantage of this service."

My guess is that it will be ready in another 7-10 days.

BTW - This will almost certainly be the online version - not a downloadable.

Strange - the very same link was working from my statefarm account last night, and in fact displayed another link to the turbotax site with a promotion code in the URL. I went to the turbotax site and already started my return. I did log back into my statefarm account to click the link this morning and now I see what you see.

It looks like is available to use.

Logon to you account. Look for "FREE tax filing" on the left side. It should open a link that reads:

File Your 2006 Income Tax for Free
Intuit, the creators of TurboTax, has agreed to provide you the ability to file your 2006 income tax online free of charge. By clicking on the Continue button, you will be transferred to Intuit's website.

Am I able to somehow use Turbotax Deluxe software to create my return and then log in here to file it free or do you have to go through the whole online interview process online? I don't think TurboTax Deluxe software gives you any sort of filing discount since last year.

Turbo tax has Basic , Deluxe & Premier versions.
Could anyone manage to find out what version
stateform link is offering ?


Thanks.

Turbotax online. At least how I understand it, they aren't giving you any software at all. Just the ability to complete and submit your taxes online.

Correct?

See my questions in the post just above.

Actually they do offer the different versions online. You can choose to use the Basic or Deluxe versions for free or the Premier for $20.

I am logged in but see no link as of today for TurboTax. I used it last year just fine. Can anyone else verify if the link is gone?


alert mods    

A nice element of TurboTax on-line is the fact that all of your identifying information is carried over from the preceding year. In the past I purchased software which had to be updated on-line for new tax law changes; at times, it also was glitchy during installation. The TurboTax on-line is a much more streamlined and effortless process.

I hadn't been able to get to it up until today, but it is there and is working for me now.

Here is the fine print from Turbotax...

The free offer includes one Basic or one Deluxe federal product and up to 3 state products. An upgrade fee of $20.00 applies for the Premier federal products. Prices are determined at time of print or e-file and are subject to change without notice.

Link working now.. I just tested it..

Thank OP.

I never registered here before. I guess even non-customers can register. I just registered and then added my State Farm account, but it says it could take up to 2 days for it to be added.

I don't see any Turbotax offer. Does it only show that offer once existing State Farm accounts have been added to the registration?


alert mods    

I used this last year and have done as much as i can without having my paperwork yet. Seems like many people get "error 20" messages when logging in. This happens to me regularly and i just try again.


alert mods    

I think so. I registered simply to get this promotion. When I first got into the site, I didn't see the link either, but it appeared after I added my State Farm auto account.

My accounts got loaded and I do now see the free tax filing thing.

One other question.

Do I need to go through the state farm link each time I want to edit my return? How does it know that I'm not supposed to be charged in the end?


alert mods    

can someone post a link to it please?
