TurboTax®, the nation’s leading tax
software, today announced a new app designed and optimized
specifically for mobile users of the iPad. TurboTax for the iPad
combines the unparalleled ease and accuracy of TurboTax with the
convenience and portability of the Apple iPad.
One of the first iPad apps from Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq:INTU),
it is the first and only mobile app that lets taxpayers prepare and
e-file both their federal and state taxes completely from their iPad.
The new TurboTax app gives users the freedom to work on their taxes
anytime and anywhere, even when they’re on the go. The app lets users
choose whether to work in landscape or portrait view and like all
TurboTax products, guides consumers step-by-step through their return to
their maximum refund.
Customers can e-file their
return directly from the iPad and get a refund in as little as eight
days with direct deposit. After filing, they can check the status of
their federal tax refund, based on Internal Revenue Service projections,
with the TurboTax MyTaxRefund
iPad app.
"A growing number of people rely on mobile devices to live their lives,
and TurboTax is committed to providing easy-to-use tax
apps for them,” said Todd Stanley, vice president of product
management & development for TurboTax. "Having TurboTax available for
the iPad perfectly blends the ease of use TurboTax is known for with the
convenience of a tablet, creating another option for people to easily
and accurately file their return.”
Taxpayers can download the mobile app for free from the Apple App store
and pay when they are done. Customers begin in TurboTax
Deluxe, for $29.99, and based on their tax situation, choose TurboTax
Premier or TurboTax
Home & Business for an additional cost. State tax preparation is
additional. All pricing is subject to change and includes e-file at no
additional cost.
A TurboTax video and more information is available at, Tax
Break, the TurboTax blog. Taxpayers can follow TurboTax on Twitter
or become a fan on Facebook.
