January 13, 2010
As it has done for the past 2 years, State Farm is giving away Intuit’s Online TurboTax Free to its customers. Like last year, must have a banking product with them such as a credit card or checking/savings account. Just having insurance isn’t good enough to have access to the free Turbo Tax.
They are giving you free access to TurboTax Basic and Deluxe along with free eFilie. If you need to use the Premeri of Home & Business version you must pay $20 and $40 respectively.
To get access to the free versions, you need to log into your StateFarm.com account. Once you are on your account summary page, you should see the following icon below:
Click on it and it will then take you to the TurboTax.com home page.
Since the discount is based on the URL that you use to get to TurboTax.com I beleive you only need to click on that link the day you are actually filing, but to be sure, I reccomend you go through the State Farm link each time you need to access your returns just in case.
Since I have a State Farm Visa card, I qualify for this. I really think this is a nice perk since filing my taxes would have cost around $45 normally, so this can be considered a State Farm Visa Bonus that keeps giving every year!!
If you are not a State Farm customer, check out TurboTax.com to file your taxes as their prices are still very reasonable.
NOTE: For posts that contain bonuses, be sure to read the post for bonus expiration dates. Links may work but the bonus may have expired.

I had a bank loan with State Farm – I had to sell the vehicle because my wife had a stroke and could no longer get into it. I sold it the second week of January, so when I went to do Turbo Tax, I could no longer get it free because my loan was paid off – I don’t think this is fair. It is bad enough that I am unemployed as it is.
I do not have a banking account with State Farm ,therefore, I can not get Turbo Tax through your web site for free. I have been with State Farm for about 35 years as a holder of my home owners insurance as well as 2 automobile policies. I guess this does not make me a good enough customer to receive this perk and makes me think that I should should investigate other insurance carriers.
I have to wonder how much State Farm has made off me in 35 years and how much they are going to make off some one with a credit card or checking account .
