We haven't quite yet broken out the Valentine's Day candy yet, but that means spring is right on our heels. Sure, warmer temps, flowers, and the allure of summer all come with spring, but it also means there's a stressful event coming up: Tax Day.

This year we're all on the hook for the Tuesday, April 15 deadline, which means we have just two months to get all our paperwork gathered and start crunching numbers. Instead of having a mini freak-out session on April 14, why not get taxes done early this year?

The IRS is already accepting returns, which means that if you're in line for a refund, there's no reason to wait on filing. Doing so will likely mean your money will get back you soon(er) than if you wait to file until April.

If you're not in line for a refund, why not rip the Band-Aid off and get it over with ASAP? Amazon has digital versions of TurboTax software up to 30% off. That means you'll not only be filing early this year, you'll be getting an impressive discount on the software to make it happen (correctly).

Here are the best tax software deals to shop at Amazon.

Best overall deal

Why we like it

At 30% off, Turbo Tax Deluxe is ideal for anyone who owns a home, has tax-deductible charitable donations, paid high medical expenses, or those who need to file both state and federal returns in 2025 for the 2024 tax year. Normally, TurboTax Deluxe costs $79.99, but Amazon has it discounted to just $55.99 for a digital version of the software that's suitable for both PC and Mac.

This version of TurboTax is designed to get you the maximum refund possible, including over 375 potential deductions and credits. You'll be able to import W2 forms, investments, mortgage information, and more from participating companies which will streamline the process.

Keep in mind that this deal gives you five federal e-files and one state file, meaning you can share the federal filing option with family members or friends to get their taxes done early, too.
