			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s time to prepare your tax return for 2007. I believe a lot of people will buy a copy of TurboTax or TaxAct from retailers like Staples, WalMart or other places. Hereby I&#8217;d like to provide an amazing deal to get a free TurboTax Basic or Deluxe. (I got this deal from slickdeals.net. Credit goes to echostorm at slickdeals.net.)</p>
<p>Use this link to intuit.com: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://slickdeals.net/?sduid=172560&amp;t=738466&amp;u2=http://turbotax.intuit.com/affiliate/06tycmep" target="_blank">http://turbotax.intuit.com/affiliate/06tycmep</a></p>
<p>Click &#8220;downloads&#8221; at the top tabs.</p>
<p>Choose whatever version you want (Deluxe is recommended.):</p>
<p><strong>Basic and Deluxe: FREE<br />
Premier: $20.00<br />
Home &amp; Business: $45.00</strong></p>
<p>And then you can choose check out to place the order to download this software directly from intuit.com for free!</p>
<p>Of course, use the following username and password to login the online account.</p>
<p><a href="mailto:tax@trashmail.com">tax@trashmail.com</a><br />
irssucks      (Please, please don&#8217;t change the username and password there, thank you!)</p>
<p>This is a deal for statefarm customers, however, I don&#8217;t know how that guy can make it. Anyway it&#8217;s a good deal for all of us. You can also fill state tax return for free! What&#8217;s more, you can <strong>use State &amp; Federal E-File Free! </strong>(e-file works for some states only) This will dramatically accelerate your tax return process!</p>
<p>Here is what I got!</p>
