BLACK BART Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 While I do very few wage-only returns nowadays and am no longer competing with the big-box guys, it's interesting to see they will do to outbid the others. When Block advertised $9.95 returns last year, I thought nobody could get much lower. Then this year's "completely free" TurboTax ad was stunning -- zero for federal AND state. How could anybody compete with that? Now I know. Today's newspaper had a coupon stuck on the front page: "Get $50 instantly when we file your taxes" - Jackson Hewitt. Although the fine print says "Minimum tax prep fee of $150", I think they're saying they'll give you $50 cash right now if you will let them do your taxes. Now, that's cheap - tax preparer pays the customer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
