Getting Your State E-Filing Rebate When You Use Basic for Desktop

You can get a rebate of your state e-filing fee if you use TurboTax Basic CD/Download software to prepare and e-file your 2011 tax return, and your return includes a state that is a member of the Free File Alliance (FFA).

Which states qualify for the rebate?

These 22 states are members of the FFA:

  • Alabama
  • Arizona
  • Arkansas
  • Georgia
  • Idaho 
  • Indiana
  • Iowa
  • Kentucky
  • Michigan 
  • Minnesota
  • Mississippi 
  • Missouri
  • New York
  • North Carolina
  • North Dakota
  • Oklahoma
  • Oregon
  • Rhode Island
  • South Carolina
  • Vermont
  • Virginia
  • West Virginia

If you e-filed a 2011 tax return in one of these states using TurboTax Basic software, you are eligible for the rebate.

How to claim your rebate

First, you'll need to e-file your state return. After you've e-filed, you'll need two items:

  1. A printout of the rebate claim form.
  2. The State E-file Proof of Purchase form, which prints out with your paperwork after you e-file your state taxes.

You can also print the proof of purchase after e-filing by doing this:

  1. Select the Print & File tab, then Print/Save for Your Records.
  2. The Print/Save For Your Records screen appears. Select Print Returns.
  3. A print menu appears. From the menu, select “State e-file Proof of Purchase."
  4. Select Print.
