What is going on with the price of TurboTax?

Folks, I've posted this before but I'll say it again. Do not just automatically purchase TurboTax (or anything else from Amazon, for that matter) from the first window that pops up on your screen. ALWAYS click on the "New and Used" button further down the page. The initial price you see is not necessarily the lowest price you can buy the item for. For example, right now the price of TurboTax Deluxe + State + eFile is $42.50 at the top of this page. If you click on the "New and Used" button you'll see a list of other merchants who are also selling TT through Amazon. One has it for $28.99. It's the same new-in-box product that the other vendor is selling for a lot more. I did this last week and with shipping my TT Deluxe was around $32. Exact same product that others here have paid $40, $50 and more for.

I'm frustrated about this too.I'm glad to see the price drop however. I hope you get a reply soon.

Yep, it was under $2500 yesterday and earlier this morning... Soon as they get more in, the price will go back under $2500. In a few months, it'll be under $2K...

Not the first time that happened. The price dropped to just around $2250 during Thanksgiving weekend, then scurried back up to $2400. It then dropped again during Christmas week, falling to its low just a day or so after Christmas, and is now back up. Amazon obviously has variable pricing for this model depending some calculation of available supply and overall demand. The electronic age has made that VERY easy to code for, so your goal as the buyer is to figure out when supply is high and demand is low because that's when the price drops.

I purchased this for $5.59 in the past. Must be an error or typo, as there are sellers with it for less than $7 here on Amazon... which is STILL steep.

YEP! They charge you $17.95 to e-file. AND another $17.95 for state e-file. That was a dirty little trick that I did not know. It is buried in the product description....but my goodness, didn't you assume a $40 tax piece of software included e-file?? I sure did! Needless to say, I am irritated at them trying to gouge me for another $36, so I am mailing in my return after printing it out. So much for a computer making this return faster...

We always use the TurboTax Deluxe Federal + e-File + State. Last year we paid $19.95 to e-file our State Taxes. Federal was included on CD.

The price is incorrect. I've noticed this happening with other items as well.

I have no Idea, my supplier informs me that his price from the manufacturer/distributor has gone up for some reason.

Because Amazon doesn't do the math (not that they have to). They are provided a product from a seller for a certain price, and adjust their mark-ups accordingly I am sure. If the seller makes a base price with a package deal that is more expensive than buying the same amount individually, then that is their prerogative. Dumb, but at the same time they are likely to catch many un-savvy buyers in this product package making their packaging deal worth it to them. While it is unfortunate, it is the responsibility of the buyer to look at the different products and choose the best option for themselves. Hope this helps!

I bought it for $989 from amazon on July 20... so it has been pretty low, but this $1099 is decent. After having it for 1 1/2 months I would pay $1099 without blinking. Go to squaretrade for a great warranty deal on it also.

Thanks Bobster- I was also wondering where the link to the rebate had disappeared to. Why is the price of this item so labile? Yesterday, when I ordered it, it was $299 and today it's $364!

I also was about to purchase at $2544. I am in no hurry though. After the Super Bowl and with tax time coming with a sluggish economy, I think the price will fluctuate favorably....

I was wondering the same thing. Would like to get started on our taxes and have used this product for several years. I have the disk from H & R Block but it's 44.95 through the CD.

My pleasure. I just looked at the price and it's gone way up. I think I paid around $30 a couple of years ago. I guess they realized how good it was relative to other options.

Same here. I paid $29.99 in November. Now they want almost double the price.
