For the Fifth Year, TurboTax Gives Millions of Hard Working Americans
Free Federal and State Tax Preparation

SAN DIEGO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–TurboTax®, America’s number
one free
tax preparation provider, from Intuit
Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU), is once again giving millions of hard working
Americans with a simple tax situation the ability to file their federal
and state tax returns for free – guaranteed. With TurboTax Free Edition,
taxpayers with a simple tax return can be confident that filing their
taxes will be completely free and they are getting their maximum tax
refund.

Last year, the average IRS tax refund was $3,194 – for many people this
is their biggest paycheck of the year and TurboTax is focused on helping
them get every dollar they deserve at tax time. Taxpayers work hard for
their money and TurboTax wants to help them find and keep more of it.
That’s why TurboTax has been providing free federal and state tax
preparation to millions for five consecutive years.

With TurboTax
Free Edition taxpayers can be confident that they are filing their
federal and state taxes with the best free tax preparation for free.

“At TurboTax we want to make sure hard-working Americans hold on to as
much of their hard-earned money as possible,” said Greg Johnson,
Executive Vice President and General Manager of Intuit’s Consumer Group.
“With the tax refund being the biggest paycheck many taxpayers receive
all year, we want to continue to help millions of taxpayers with simple
tax returns get their biggest tax refunds possible for free with
TurboTax Free Edition.”
