Yes, we know, you’re probably not jumping for joy over the idea of discounted tax software. But Tax Day is looming in the not-so-distant future (FYI, it’s April 18, 2022), so why not get a head start on yours and save on what you need to get all that paperwork done smoothly? According to RetailMeNot, taxpayers will see an average of 35 percent off tax prep services this month. But beware, as Tax Day approaches, prices will increase, so we don’t recommend putting them off for too long.
