Has anyone seen any promotions on turbotax 2016 yet? Does Fidelity and Vanguard offer discounts to their clients? So far everyone seems to be charging full price.
Yes. Not only that, typically at this time of year the TT program is not yet ready to run and requires updates before it can prepare a return.You'll see a number of discount offers in about a month. A bit too early yet.
This is the first year I cashed in my old US EE savings bonds from the days of payroll deduction through w*rk.
Does Turbotax Deluxe handle the event of cashing in savings bonds? Or do I need the higher version of Turbotax Premium? Thanks.

You should receive a 1099-INT for the redeemed savings bonds. As long as your version can handle a 1099-INT you should be fine.
Do we know if Fidelity will make this available at no charge again this year.The last couple of years I have been getting Turbotax Premier from Fidelity for free.
Before that I got it from Costco when on sale. Sometimes Amazon matched that price, sometimes not.
No, don't know yet. Seems like late December is when people start to talk about the Fidelity offer.Do we know if Fidelity will make this available at no charge again this year.
Best deal I have found is Waoocheap:
2016 TurboTax - Waoocheap
They only sell downloadable versions but TT2016 Deluxe is just $29.99.
I have downloaded & installed the program, but have not started using it yet. Various sources have confirmed that the Deluxe version does include Schedule D.
My Fido rep has never offered me any free or discount version.

Sounds good to me. I'm certainly in no rush to start thinking about my taxes, so I'll wait until we have confirmed sightings.Last year it was the week before Xmas (and all through the house ...)
I'm very leery of discount sites like this. Most likely it is an illegal knockoff. Maybe you're getting the same product for a few buck less, knowing that you are probably cheating Intuit out of their cut. That may not bother you, though you could have trouble getting support from Intuit if you need it. But maybe they are inserting a virus along with installing TurboTax. Maybe they have even found a way to get a peek at your return, including your SS# and other personal information included in your return.
None of this is worth saving a few bucks to me.
Years past I would buy TurboTax as soon as it came out - only to kick myself when promotions started up in January. Not that I could do much with TT before getting all my forms in, either. This year I'll wait.
Has anyone heard of "Tax Pros"? They are selling Turbotax Deluxe 2016 Fed + State for $32.85.
It looks fishy, but I can't tell for sure whether it's pirated or legit.

For the 15 or $20 you'd save, I wouldn't risk it.
I suppose I'm old-school, but I prefer the physical disc anyway.
