Updated on Tuesday, April 15, 2025: With Tax Day finally here, TurboTax just updated its latest discounts to help you file on time. Bank of America customers can also access exclusive offers, including cash-back rewards when using a qualifying BofA credit or debit card to pay for TurboTax software. Below is a roundup of the best current deals.

1. Extra 10% Off Federal Products

Through the end of day today,  April 15, 2025, TurboTax users can receive an additional 10% discount with this instant coupon on federal products when purchased directly from Intuit. This offer is stacked on top of the current end-of-season pricing. Note that this discount applies only to federal products (state excluded).

2. Exclusive Bank of America $20 Cashback Offer

TurboTax has partnered with Bank of America to provide an exclusive customer saving: Activate the offer within your Bank of America online portal or in the BofA app, and then use the debit/credit card tied to your account to pay for your TurboTax order to get $20 cashback on your next billing cycle (full offer details can be found further down this page). Best of all, this deal can be combined with the above 20% off instant discount! Offer expires on April 15, 2025.

3. 50% Off QuickBooks Solopreneur Bundle

For small business owners and independent contractors, TurboTax offers a discount on its QuickBooks Solopreneur Bundle. This package helps track expenses and manage bookkeeping throughout the year. It’s currently available at 50% off for the first three months, lowering the monthly cost from $20 to $10.

4. Free TurboTax Freedom Edition for Military Members

Active-duty military personnel ranked E1 through E9 can file their taxes for free with the TurboTax Freedom Edition. Higher-ranking service members are eligible for discounted pricing. A military W-2 form from the 2024 fiscal year is required to qualify.

5. Free Edition for Simple Tax Returns

For taxpayers with straightforward returns, TurboTax offers a Free Edition for filing both federal and state taxes. This option is ideal for those filing Form 1040 with limited credits like:

• Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)
• Child Tax Credit
• Student Loan Interest Deduction

While this is a great cost-saving option, only about 37% of taxpayers qualify, as it does not support more complex filings like itemized deductions, self-employment income, or investments.

Background and History

Founded in 1904, Bank of America is one of the largest financial institutions in the United States, serving over 67 million customers.

• 1098 Forms: For mortgage interest deductions, customers can download these forms from the Year-End Statements section.

For other 1099 forms, such as those related to investments or savings, you can contact Bank of America directly if they haven’t arrived by February 15, 2025.

TurboTax Free Edition for Simple Returns

For taxpayers with straightforward filing needs, the TurboTax Free Edition allows you to file both federal and state returns for free. This edition is best suited for filing Form 1040 and supports limited credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), the Child Tax Credit, and the Student Loan Interest Deduction. However, only around 37% of taxpayers qualify, as it doesn’t support more complex returns such as those with business income, itemized deductions, or investments.

MasterCard History, Background, and Use in Tax Filing

MasterCard is a global payments technology company that has been around since 1966. Founded by a group of banks, it has since evolved into one of the largest and most widely recognized financial services companies in the world. MasterCard’s main product offerings include credit cards, debit cards, and prepaid cards, which can be used for both everyday purchases and, increasingly, for specialized needs such as tax payments.

For years, MasterCard has provided its cardholders with a range of benefits, from cashback rewards to promotional offers with partners like TurboTax. One of the key advantages of using a MasterCard to pay for taxes is its convenience. With the ability to make tax payments online or by phone, MasterCard holders can pay off their 1040, 1040-ES, or 4868 forms using their cards, while earning points or rewards for their purchase. The payment process is straightforward, and taxpayers are able to handle their obligations from the comfort of their homes.

MasterCard is also accepted by a wide range of tax payment providers, which increases its flexibility. Payment providers like Official Payments Corp and PAY1040.com facilitate tax payments for federal income taxes, allowing MasterCard cardholders to complete their transactions securely and conveniently. To process a payment, users simply need to select one of the payment options and follow the prompts provided by the payment provider, either online or through an automated phone system.

How to Use Your MasterCard to Pay Taxes

There are several ways to use your MasterCard to pay your taxes, depending on how you choose to file. The three main options are:

1. Paper Return: Prepare your tax return on paper and then make your payment by phone or online.
2. Electronic Filing: Use an electronic filing system, such as TurboTax or another online platform, to file your taxes and pay through the same methods.
3. Authorized Tax Preparer: Have a professional tax preparer file your taxes electronically and then make the payment through MasterCard.

Once your return is filed, MasterCard allows you to pay the tax balance due using their payment processors, such as Official Payments Corp or PAY1040.com. Payment by phone is available via toll-free automated numbers, or you can complete the transaction directly online. Simply select MasterCard as the payment option, and the payment processor will guide you through the necessary steps.

Fees and Costs Involved

When using MasterCard to pay taxes, be aware that a convenience fee may be charged, which varies based on your tax liability and the payment provider. These fees are generally small, but it’s important to note that they will appear separately on your credit card statement. For example, you may see two entries on your statement: one for the tax payment itself and another for the convenience fee. The fee will be identified clearly as “Tax Payment Convenience Fee.”

It’s also worth noting that this convenience fee is applied by the payment providers rather than MasterCard itself. For this reason, the fee may differ depending on which provider you choose to handle your payment.

MasterCard and Taxes: Benefits and Drawbacks

Using a MasterCard for tax payments offers a variety of benefits. For one, it simplifies the payment process. Instead of dealing with checks, money orders, or other forms of payment, you can easily complete your transaction using a card you likely already carry. The added bonus is that many MasterCard users earn rewards, cashback, or points for their purchases, including tax payments. These rewards can be useful for offsetting the costs of tax preparation or other related expenses.

Another advantage is the flexibility of using MasterCard for payments. With access to payment portals like Official Payments Corp and PAY1040.com, taxpayers can manage their tax obligations from anywhere, at any time. Furthermore, some taxpayers may prefer the added security that comes with using a credit card for such a large payment, compared to other payment methods.

However, there are drawbacks to consider as well. The main issue is the convenience fee, which, although generally small, adds to the overall cost of using a credit card to pay taxes. Additionally, if you carry a balance on your MasterCard, you’ll be subject to interest charges, which can quickly add up. For taxpayers who can’t pay off their balance immediately, this could result in significant extra costs. Furthermore, there are limitations on the types of taxes that can be paid with a MasterCard. For example, state taxes might not be eligible for payment via this method, depending on the state and payment processor.

Signing Up for MasterCard: What You Need to Know

To take advantage of the benefits of MasterCard, you’ll first need to sign up for an account. The process of signing up for a MasterCard is straightforward. You can choose from a variety of options, including credit cards, debit cards, or prepaid cards. Many financial institutions and banks offer MasterCard products, and each has its own set of benefits, rewards, and fees.

When selecting a MasterCard, consider factors such as your credit score, the type of rewards or perks you want, and your overall financial situation. Some cards offer specific benefits for travel, while others may offer cashback or points on everyday purchases. If you plan to use your MasterCard for tax payments, make sure to check whether the card’s terms and conditions include any restrictions or extra fees for paying taxes.

In conclusion, using a MasterCard to pay taxes can be a convenient and rewarding option for many taxpayers. With access to a range of payment providers and the potential for rewards, it offers flexibility and ease of use. However, it’s essential to consider the associated fees and costs, especially if you carry a balance on your card.
