Tax season is fast approaching, and unfortunately for 2026, Direct File isn’t an option anymore. The free, government-provided service was shut down, so you’ll need to look to other federal programs, including IRS Free File, to file your paperwork. If you don’t qualify for Free File, TurboTax might be your best bet for a relatively cheap, efficient way to file your taxes. While it pains us to suggest you give money to a company that has spent decades lobbying to ensure America’s tax system remains a nightmare, we can at least help you save a bit of cash if you’ve determined TurboTax is a necessary expense for you this year.

With tax season approaching, Amazon has discounted the deluxe desktop edition of TurboTax by 44 percent.
Right now, Amazon has discounted the deluxe desktop edition of TurboTax by 44 percent. That gets you $35 off software that normally costs $80, which you can use to file both your individual state and federal taxes. For most Americans, that should cover their needs.
However, if you’re self-employed, you’ll need to pony up for the more expensive Business version of TurboTax, which is currently 42 percent off, or $54 off. One last thing to note: you’ll need a PC with either Windows 11 or macOS Sonoma to run the software, so an older machine won’t do, unfortunately.
