TurboTax®, the nation’s No.
1-rated, best-selling tax software from Intuit
Inc. (Nasdaq:INTU), reminds taxpayers that the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS) begins accepting e-filed tax returns today, officially kicking off
the 2014 tax season. Taxpayers can file now with TurboTax
to get the biggest refund they deserve, fast.
“The federal tax refund is one of the most significant financial moments
of the year for many individuals. At TurboTax, we understand how much
people depend on their tax refunds to help pay bills and living
expenses,” said David Williams, Chief Tax Officer at Intuit. “You want
that money back in your pocket where it belongs and TurboTax guarantees
you won’t get a bigger tax refund anywhere else.”
In addition to helping customers get their biggest possible tax
refund, with its Refund Bonus program, TurboTax is helping customers
make their hard-earned dollars go even further. Exclusively with
TurboTax, customers can choose to use part of their federal tax refund
to purchase an Amazon.com Gift Card and TurboTax will add an extra 5
percent to 10 percent to the amount of the e-gift card.
According to the IRS, the fastest way for taxpayers to get their refund
is through e-file and direct deposit. With 75 percent of taxpayers
expected to get a refund, and the average federal tax refund almost
$2,700 last year, there is no reason to wait to file. The IRS expects to
issue more than 9 out of 10 refunds in less than 21 days upon acceptance.
