Tax Day is closer than you think. The deadline to file your taxes is less than two months away. Many people hire an accountant to handle their taxes, but there are those of us who would rather go it alone. If you can’t afford an accountant, don’t fret. There are still plenty of tax prep software deals to be had.

In fact, for those who’d prefer to file their taxes on their own but still might need a bit of tax prep guidance, today’s tax prep software deal from Amazon might be particularly helpful.

For a limited time only, Amazon is offering a personal finance software subscription bundle deal that includes a TurboTax Deluxe software disc, five free federal e-files, one free download of a TurboTax state product, and a Quicken Deluxe 2019 personal finance software subscription. The Quicken subscription will last for one year and two bonus months.

In addition to tax prep guidance and five free federal e-files, customers can also get access to Quicken’s bill pay services and use Quicken to help track their spending.

According to the listing, the Deluxe version of the TurboTax software offered in the deal is best for those with more complicated tax prep situations, such as those with “a lot of deductions” or those with charitable donations, homes, or “child-related expenses.”

Today’s bundle deal seems to offer the best value for its price. Rather than paying the bundle’s regular price of $83, customers can take advantage of all of the bundle’s amenities for just $60.

It’s worth noting, however, that this particular bundle deal means that customers will get a disc for the TurboTax Deluxe software portion, but not for the Quicken portion. The Quicken part of the deal will be available for installation as a digital download.

The software for both the TurboTax Deluxe and Quicken Deluxe 2019 are compatible with the following platforms: MacOS X El Capitan 10.11, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 10, and Windows 7.

This bundled software subscription deal is expected to end at midnight on Wednesday, February 27.

Can’t wait until Black Friday? Today’s best iPad Air deal

A young woman works on an Apple iPad Air with her Apple Pencil.

The Apple iPad Air is seeing an impressive discount at Amazon right now, one that knocks the price all the way down to $520 from its regular price of $600. This is a savings of $80, and while the coming Black Friday deals may hold a better deal to pounce on, the iPad Air is a high-demand piece of tech, and it’s rare to find a discount on it at all, let alone one offering more savings than what we’re seeing here. So it’s a good idea to scoop this iPad Air deal up while you can, and if the Black Friday iPad deals turn up something better, you can always return this purchase and grab your larger savings at that point.

Why you should buy the Apple iPad Air
Over the past decade, the tablet has become a computing device that’s relied upon daily by both businesses and individuals. Apple has played a large part in that, with its iPad lineup offering models to suit just about anyone. The Apple iPad Air sits close to the top of the lineup, offering many of the great features of the iPad Pro, while maintaining a more reasonable price point. In fact, the iPad Air now features the powerful Apple M1 chip, a processor that can be found in many of Apple’s computers. This gives the iPad Air more performance capability than you’ll find in most tablets. Both the Apple iPad Pro and iPad Air are suitable for tablet users with an eye on performance, and with more models in the iPad lineup than ever before, we’ve got you covered in researching the best iPad to buy.

black friday 2020 deals still available featured resized

October Prime Day, officially called the Amazon Early Access Sale, has stirred up online shopping activity with a second round of Prime Day deals this year, pushing rival retailers like Walmart and Dell to counter with their Walmart Rollback Sale and Dell Prime Day sale, respectively. Amazon's event is on its last day, however, which means it's almost over. You should start your shopping by taking a look at the wide range of offers across all the popular retailers, not just Amazon. To show you what kind of bargain prices you'll encounter, we've rounded up some of the best deals that are available right now.
Apple AirPods (2nd-generation) -- $90, was $159

The third-generation Apple AirPods were released last year, but the second-generation Apple AirPods are still a worthwhile purchase from Prime Day AirPods deals, especially if you're on a tight budget. They're very easy to set up with your Apple devices, and they automatically connect whenever they're in range. The wireless earbuds can last up to five hours on a single charge, and with the juice from the charging case, they can last for more than 24 hours. You can also access Apple's Siri through the AirPods -- you just have to say, "Hey Siri."

Inspiron 15 3000 -- $300, was $419

First up on the chopping block is the Inspiron 15 3000, a great little laptop if you're looking for a budget-friendly device for work or study. The Intel Pentium Silver N5030 may not be as powerful as their i-series CPUs, but it's still powerful enough to run the basics well, especially if we're talking about productivity software. The RAM is admittedly a bit on the low side at 4GBs, but the 127GBs storage is a bit more reasonable, although we'd still probably grab an external hard drive to help supplement the storage. Where the Inspiron 15 3000 shines is the FHD screen, which comes in at 15.6 inches, giving you tons of screen real estate to do your work. The other upside is that there is a lot of space for a big keyboard, so this can be handy if you tend to type a lot. Of course, if you want something a bit more substantial but not necessarily gaming-related, we have some other great laptop deals for you to look at.
