Ah it’s tax time. For some it’s a great time, for otheres, not so great.
Since you’ve gotta do it, you may as well get a deal on it!
I love doing my taxes online because I can save it and work on it a bit at a time. Note, as with all online tax prep services, there is a fee for the state return, but the federal tax filing is free! And H&R Block is a trusted name in the industry as well, so it’s just another great reason to file through them!
- You can do it all online for free!
- FREE expert advice
- You don’t file until you’re satisfied… plus they GUARANTEE the largest return!





































It all began on October 8th, 2008. Cathy and Monica started this coupon blog to help friends and family learn about their new money saving hobby couponing! Since then they have taught thousands of women (and men) 





“as with all online tax prep services … the federal tax filing is free.”
How is this so? I used Turbo Tax this year as I have for quite some time, and federal tax filing is not free. I’ve searched high and low to figure out how to avoid a filing fee, and all I find is blogs saying it’s free but no more information than that. I even inquired at Turbo Tax directly, and no, it is not free to file a federal tax return.
Also, you might want to let your readers that rebates are available through ebates and shopathome for at least some tax services. I went through ebates and will get 7.5% cash back on my Turbo Tax filing fees.
Susan, I know we’ve had many companies send us their offers to advertise. Here are more: http://fabulesslyfrugal.com/2013/01/ways-to-get-your-federal-taxes-filed-free.html
I’m certain this pertains to 1040ez filings. I am a procrastinator and won’t be doing mine for a bit still (got other things on my to-do list I need to handle first), so I haven’t been able to go through the process personally this year.
And since we talk about and promote Ebates all of the time, (see another promo this afternoon), I didn’t take the time to go find another link to send readers to Ebates as well. I’m glad you’re trained to get cash back Susan.
Does this answer your concerns?
ps – We don’t promote ShopAtHome.
Thanks for the response Cathy. Just after posting, I read on another site that only 1040EZ filings are free, which explains a lot.
I shop through both ebates and shopathome regularly for retail purchases, but I would not have thought to check there for tax filing services had I not seen it in an ad.
