As tax season looms, one major expense is about to become significantly more affordable. Amazon has slashed the price of TurboTax Deluxe by a whopping 44%, bringing the cost down from $80 to a mere $45. For most Americans, this should be enough to cover both state and federal taxes, eliminating the need for additional paid services.
However, those who are self-employed will still need to shell out extra cash for the more expensive Business version of TurboTax, which is now 42% off - that's $54 off the original price. And before you can even think about diving in, be sure your computer meets the minimum system requirements: a PC with Windows 11 or macOS Sonoma.
For those who are forced to navigate the complex world of taxes on their own, this discount is a godsend. With no free government-provided alternatives available for 2026, and IRS Free File no longer an option, it's either TurboTax or nothing. While the company has been criticized for its lobbying efforts in shaping the US tax system, at least now those who must use its services can save some cash.
The deal is a welcome respite from the usual chaos of tax season, when what should be a simple process becomes mired in complexity and bureaucratic red tape. With TurboTax Deluxe now available for $45, this might just be the one thing that makes filing taxes a little more bearable - albeit still no picnic.

. I mean, who doesn't hate scrambling to gather receipts and figures at the last minute? And honestly, $45 for Deluxe is a steal – my aunt always had to pay like 3x that just to get it done 
. Still annoyed they're nickel-and-diming those self-employed folks with Business TurboTax, though. What's up with that? Anyone else been struggling to figure out their tax game this year? 
. For those who are forced to navigate their own tax affairs, this discount is like a breath of fresh air. It's a reminder that even in complex situations, there's always room for flexibility and compromise. And let's be real, $45 isn't going to change your life, but it can certainly make a difference 
44% off is kinda nice but business version? more like "you're basically broke" lol anyway, gotta make that extra cash somehow
. At least they're giving everyone some kinda discount now, I guess...
! I mean, 44% off is huge! Now, I know some people are gonna say it's not worth it because you gotta shell out extra cash for the Business version or deal with computer specs and all that jazz... but honestly, who doesn't love saving some serious cash at tax season? 
It's like Amazon is saying "Hey, we gotcha back!" And yeah, I know the company has gotten some flak for its lobbying efforts, but come on, a little discount never hurt anyone! 
. So if this deal can make it just a teensy bit more bearable... well, I say thank you Amazon! 
. I'm hoping this deal will encourage more people to take control of their tax prep and avoid any last-minute stress when the deadline is looming 
.
Ahhh I feel you! Tax season is like, the ultimate stress fest 
. But seriously, Amazon's got your back with this huge discount on TurboTax Deluxe 
. Fingers crossed that the Business version is still out of reach for those self-employed folks 
. Ugh, tax season just got a little less painful 
. And yeah, I get what you mean about the self-employed folks having to shell out extra cash, but at least they have that option. Now if only the IRS would step up its game and make filing taxes a breeze... but until then, I'm stoked about this deal!
anyway, it's cool that Amazon is stepping in to help with tax season expenses. but, gotta say, the fact that you're still gonna need to shell out more cash for business taxes just kinda sucks 
. and what about those who don't have a computer that meets the min requirements? or can't afford to shell out extra cash for business version? still hoping amazon starts offering more affordable options for self-employed folks 
I feel like this might just be the one thing that makes filing taxes less painful 
! I mean, who doesn't love saving money on tax season? It's like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders 
. Not that it's going to make it super fun or anything, but at least we won't have to break the bank
