Don't miss out on the best price
Purchase your tax preparation software today
Most tax preparation software providers offer the deepest discounts right after tax season ends, with prices that increase throughout the year until you pay full retail price by purchasing software at the start of tax season.
Some tax professionals shop for the best price, so they use their credit card to purchase software right after tax season ends. If they don't pay their credit card bill off, they end up cutting into their savings by racking up interest.
Software Purchase Assistance lets you make your tax software purchase now so you enjoy the deepest discounts. Since there's no cost for Software Purchase Assistance you never run the risk of racking up credit card debt.
