I got a TurboTax Deluxe coupon for $40, but when I click "start", I'm led through the main TurboTax flow which shows a higher price: https://intuit.me/37jeT7K Any ideas?

Until someone with more knowledge relpies.....Stay AWAY form that website

 

the ".me" may indicate Montenegro....and hackers/criminals/pirated software.  And a $40 coupon??  unlikely..but perhaps a moderator could confirm when they are in office next week.  MAX discount this time of year is $10off-Deluxe, $15off-Premier, $20off-SE or H&B.

 

Only buy directly form turbotax...or well known US providers (Amazon, Staples, Best Buy...etc)

Ahhh….maybe $40 for Online Deluxe  ($30 with discount)

or $50 for desktop Deluxe....($40 with discount)

….but you usually have to visit a site that offers a proper discount cookie first...like your bank's website

(or I use the Fidelity link that anyone can use   

https://www.fidelity.com/tax-information/turbotax-discount/overview

  but remember...it's "up to" $20 off.  $10off Deluxe, $15off Premier, or $20off for the most expensive version )

the price for online deluxe is $40 without a coupon.  sounds like a phony site that may just want to grab your personal info  maybe even credit card info.  or it may be to download malware to your computer.   stay away
