LOOKING FOR 2009 TAX SOFTWARE? There's another freebie.
Click here to read my post about the 2009 version of TurboTax.

I think I'm going to try doing my S-corp taxes myself, rather than spend $800-$1200 this year. I've used Turbo Tax for my personal taxes (and previously when I was a Schedule C business owner) and really liked it, so today I was looking into their corporate software program.
==> I just scored a free download copy of TurboTax Business 2008 for Corporations & Partnerships (for PC.) $100 savings!
They're giving it away as a promotion, "Because once you try it, we think you’ll be a customer for life." What a nice no-risk offer.
The offer is good until "mid February," so if you want to snag a copy too, you better hurry. I'm writing this on Feb 10th and just downloaded my free copy.
Download a Free Copy of TurboTax Business Here
(The link isn't otherwise viewable on the TurboTax website.)
Be forewarned that the download process had a couple glitches (server timeouts) probably because everyone is trying to get the freebie. Be patient. After a couple tries, it totally WORKED FINE.
If you have trouble getting it to download, click here to read a review thread at Amazon. It was through SMcmahon's post that I learned about the freebie, and the other user's tips about going back to the shopping cart page and clicking again is what worked for me.
Note: The State Tax version is separate and costs $50.
If you should discover that the offer has expired, let me know, please.











Quick follow up note from Jaya:
I used TurboTax Business to do my S-corp tax returns this week and really loved it. It was just as easy as the TurboTax home & business version I used previously when I filed with a Schedule C.
The freebie was a good incentive for me. Not only did I buy the $50 state version this year (an obvious decision when you're all logged in and finished with the federal return) but I'm most likely going to use it again next year. Thank you, Intuit.
Now, if only they'd make a good alternative to QuickBooks! I loathe QuickBooks' interface more than any other program. It's clunky, hard to read and navigate. I'd love to see a bookkeeping program with TurboTax's easy interview-style set up. They're both Intuit products. I want something like "TurboBooks."
