Updated on Saturday March 2, 2024: For all of you looking to take advantage of the TurboTax Amazon Refund Bonus Offer from years past — where you could have earned an extra 5% to 10% bonus on top of your federal refund in the form of an Amazon gift card — we’re sad to report that it’s no longer being offered here in 2024. It was a fantastic deal because if was just like getting free money for all of us that already do a majority of our shopping on Amazon. But wait… there’s still good news!

Amazon’s TurboTax Refund Bonus Offer Switches to H&R Block.

H&R Block’s tax filing software, which is a direct competitor to TurboTax, now offers pretty much the same type of extra bonus federal refund as we once saw with TurboTax. It’s an Amazon-only exclusive promotion available on qualifying versions of H&R Block software. Here’s how it works:

1. Purchase an eligible version of H&R Block 2024 tax software (for the 2023 tax year) at amazon.com. You’ll be able to select from boxed CD and download versions of Basic, Deluxe, Premium and Premium & Business (with or without State returns included). All qualifying versions will have the “refund bonus” icon on the box image as shown below.



2. Use the program to complete your tax return. When you’re ready to e-file, you will have the option of selecting to receive part of your federal individual income tax refund in the form of an Amazon gift card. You can designate any amount between a minimum of $100 and a maximum of $5,000.
3. H&R Block will add an extra 2.75% to the total amount you designate to your Amazon gift card. For example, if you designate $500 of your federal tax refund toward the purchase of the gift card, H&R block will automatically add $13.75 to the total amount, bringing the total value of the gift card to $513.75.
4. When your federal income tax refund has been sent by the IRS, H&R Block will email you your online Amazon Gift Card redemption code (typically within 3 days). Values of over $2000 will be sent via multiple gift cards.

Just remember, you won’t qualify for this offer if: (a) you are not eligible to receive a federal tax refund this year; (b) you decide to print your completed return and not e-file; (c) you do not agree to the posted Terms and Conditions; and/or (d) you are under the age of 18. The complete and official terms and conditions for this offer can be found here.
