Hi Colleen from TurboTax here.. Just want to clarify that this offer is for TurboTax app for Android tablets, including Kindle Fire, (SnapTax is a phone app for simple returns (1040EZ) and is currently $24.99 for fed/state, including ffiling). To take advantage of the android tablet app offer, you do not need to be new, but you will not be able to transfer information if you’ve started a return somewhere else. You need to download and start a return from the beginning between 3/30-4/1 (don’t need to file this weekend, just start a return). Also, even though you may see pricing, if you downoad and start the return this weekend, it will be free for federal/state when you file. Hope that helps.

This post is incorrect. The deal is only for “TurboTax for Android” — the full app. It’s not for SnapTax.

I think “TurboTax for Android” (which is incompatible with all of my Android phones) is a tablet-based app that has the full functionality of TurboTax On-line.

I downloaded the app this morning and tried it both on my Revolution and my Xoom, neither one gives me a free tax return, both want to charge me 25 bucks.

Post from Engadget says that you must also not have downloaded the app until this morning: http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/29/turbotax-android-free-promotion/

Uhhhh guys? You should revise this article as this appears to not be free. I’m trying to do this and it wants to charge me 25 bucks.

Not sure how you tried filing, but I believe it only works on Android tablets. I read a blurb that it will not work on handsets.

Well today is the 30th and its still trying to charge me $24.99, if you would normally file a 1040EZ, this is definitely the way to go if it really ends up being free, took me all of 7 minutes to do.

I shouldn’t need to. Like I said, simple tax situation and this crap software should be able to accurately calculate it, like TaxACT does. I was just tryin to warn people. But you, you should use Turbotax.

Maybe you shouldn’t be a cheap ass and hire a real accountant
