[Chat] [Discussion] taxes

[Jonathan Wetmiller]

If you're using the online version of TurboTax, you can find discounts through many financial institutions' websites even if you don't have an account with them.  Here's one from Bank of America offering the deluxe federal version for $19.45:

State returns are an additional $36.95, but as Eric mentioned, it's fairly simply to use the MD iFile service for free.  You just enter a few numbers from your completed federal return.

And to your other question, Judy, I don't think the state has issued 1099G forms yet showing refund amounts from last year.

One suggestion on Maryland taxes (and to save $19.99 on the state E-File
fee): The Maryland form 502 is straight forward, and can be filled out
directly on the Comptroller of Maryland's web page.

The trick is to use your tax software to print out the 502 for free,
go to the web site, and type in the values.  It takes no more than 5
minutes, you will still get quick turn around time, and save $20.
