Intuit is giving away downloads of TurboTax for Business 2009 through this link (regularly $109.95)
Suitable for S-Corps, C-Corps, LLC's and partnerships, the software is free and includes free e-Filing of your 2009 Federal tax return (due 3/15/10.) A state version with e-Filing costs $50 (a pop-up box offer appears after you install the program and begin your Federal return.
This freebie is the full version of the software and is available to first-time users as well as people who've used it before. I got a freebie last year and was able to get this year's freebie too. The only thing you can't do if you're a previous customer is import your data from last year. So the trade-off for saving $110 is a little manual entry from your 2008 return.
I tried TurboTax Business last year (instead of paying over $900 to a CPA) and found it be really easy. If you've never done your own taxes, you might do better with a pro. But if you're at least somewhat acquainted with how your company is set up, you should be able to do this yourself. It's empowering and can save you a lot of cash.
Very complete and thoughtful post. Thanks for sharing your experience.
