What do they charge for each state? And state efile? That need to be accounted for for those that file state income tax returns so a good comparison can be made with the other editions.

Is it state for $1, with free federal? or just federal for $1.
If its state, is it 2008, if it is ,it's a Great deal- Green
but if its federal, its not a great deal, Turbo Tax, tax act, tax cut all have a free versionnof federal with efile- the charge is for state mainly- tax cut is $13 where turble is 30 for state in most cases

I just loaded mine,It appears to cost 29.99 per State and I don't think that includes State E -file.

This shows 2008 when I installed it.

So it's actually more like $45 for the "$1 dollar" edition when it's all said and done. Not as hot as $1 now, is it?

typic GOP abovee ... it is a $1.00 ..FREE $19.99 program..
then if you need hand holding to figure
a simple % for your STATE then yes pay more...

They were giving these away for free at Macworld last week. State is an additional $29.95 and State E-file is another $19.95.

I thought that this was the year I'll switch to Taxcut but they still can't get it right.

Why did this get so much green? It is a terrible deal. As another poster stated, you can get these programs for FREE online and you just pay to file state if you qualify for free federal. If you don't qualify for free federal, just use the free program to figure out what you want to do , then get the forms for free from the IRS and file the old way for free.

Bad deal..Not sure who is giving green.

I am going to see if my stores have it today. I have been getting this every year since they offered it at Dollar Tree. Maybe you can download it for free, but for $1 I will have the disc. I am sure I am just old fashioned or tech dumb, but if you want to have a disc in hand, this is a great deal. I know you can buy it in some stores and do all kinds of free after rebate software but I don't want to get into that. Plus I live in TX with no state income tax, so that is not a factor for me. So that is why the post gets green from me and people like me.

UPDATE: sold out in 2 stores near me, one guy came in and bought out all they had at both, they assume for resale and won't have any more for about 10 days, this is in Plano

Yep, I have to send them a check anyway...so this $1 version allows you to print the return....

You don't have to efile guys. Just snail mail it and pay 42 cents for stamps. Also, some states will allow for free efile (e.g., Illinois) so YMMV. $1 is still a good deal for an app that resides on your desktop not some server in China (or whereever).

Partial ditto to above. There are states that have free e-file. Just use the SW to figure your state taxes, go to the state site (for those that have it) and transpose the #s. Seems to me that some claim fatwallet attitude but never use it themselves.

We don't have state income tax here either so $1 for a hard copy is a good deal for me. Thanks OP.

isn't that what you want? that's the year that just ended that we owe taxes for.

i hope they have this in houston

Good deal. People suggesting on-line tax prep tools are ignoring the fact that some of us don't like having our financial data entrusted to the internet. I print and mail mine. The $1 CD from Dollar Tree did everything I needed last year.


   posted: Jan. 17, 2009 @ 3:55p

I find myself a little confused... Some in the FW community have suggested that this is free. And yes, last year there was a link to download it for free. But this year (for 2008 tax return), I have not found a link to DL Taxcut Basic for free.

This gets green because this is the best deal for taxcut basic that is currently available. Thanks OP
