TurboTax also has several other early bird offers. If you select the full service option on the TurboTax app, TurboTax guarantees it will beat the price you paid your tax pro last year. All you need to do is take advantage of the offer by March 18 and file by March 25. Similarly, if you elect to do your own taxes on the TurboTax app, you’ll pay $0 if you’re switching from another tax service through Feb. 18.
