WILL I GET THE DISCOUNT ONLINE PROGRAMS LIKE THE STORES ARE OFFERING FOR TURBO TAX?

[DoninGA]

No.  There is no discount using the online editions unless you are active military.

[Critter-3]

The pricing for the online program and the downloaded program varies from vendor to vendor and has a completely different pricing structure.  Turbotax does NOT do any price matching  so don't expect to get the same discounts as third party vendors.  So pay attention to where you buy and what you are buying.

While TurboTax does sell their CD product through authorized third party vendors (Wal-Mart for example), they have no control over what price those third party vendors charge.
