8 Tax Promos and Coupon Offers To Check Out if You Haven’t Filed Yet
There are now just a little over two weeks to go until Tax Day, which falls on April 18 this year. So, if you haven’t filed yet, that means you’ve broken your promise that this would be the year you finally join the early birds and settle up with the IRS before the clocks change.
After all, early filers get the peace of mind that comes with ripping off the band-aid with plenty of time to spare — and, of course, they get their refunds before the rest of the pack.

But early birds have another incentive to move quickly — they get the best deals and discounts. The big software providers and tax preparation companies slash prices the most in January and February to bring in business before the peak-season rush.
If you still haven’t filed, though, don’t worry. There are still some deals for the taking even with April just around the corner.
Here’s a look at the best promotions and coupon offers for filing your taxes with just a few weeks to spare, both online and in person.
H&R Block
Enjoy a 20% discount across the board for all four of H&R Block’s price tiers:
Basic: $23.96, down from $29.95
Deluxe + State: $43.96, down from $54.95
Premium: $59.96, down from $74.95
Premium & Business: $71.96, down from $89.95
H&R Block also lists a second group of price tiers that are slightly different. The first is for basic filers and is always free for both state and federal. The other three are 30% off:
Deluxe: $38.50, down from $55
Premium: $52.50, down from $75
Self-Employed: $80.50, down from $115
No coupon code is needed for either set of discounts, but CNET is listing an offer of 25% off H&R Block products and services with coupon code 25KSUC. While “some exclusions apply,” it’s unclear if the offer can be combined with the 20% and 30% off deals.
TurboTax
TurboTax offers a military discount for active duty personnel and reservists of an enlisted rank (E-1 through E-9) with a DFAS W2. National Guard members are excluded and TurboTax Live products are not part of the offer.
For non-military filers, TurboTax is offering up to $15 off federal services for all three of its paid tiers (the most basic service is free):
Deluxe: $54, down from $59
Premier: $79, down from $89
Self-Employed: $104, down from $119
Finally, TurboTax is running a special for free expert help with simple tax returns, but qualifying customers must file by March 31 to qualify.
