April 15 Will Be Here Soon – Promote TurboTax To Your Members

We’ve all noticed tax season has gotten off to a slow start, but that doesn’t mean your members still won’t love (and will need) a great deal on TurboTax software for 2019.

Ongoing TurboTax promotions through February will help make sure your members don’t miss out on the discount. To help, we’ll be adding additional emails and making sure all banners remain active. Plus, we will have special late-season assets coming in March!

Through April 15, be sure to post a TurboTax Banner on your credit union website and online banking pages on the top half of the page.

TurboTax Protects Your Members

TurboTax is up-to-date on the latest tax laws and guarantees 100 percent accurate calculations, so your members can be confident their taxes are done right, and they get the largest refund possible.

Tax Deadlines Are Closer Than You Think

Many members haven’t started their taxes yet, and the government shutdown may contribute to delayed tax documents for some members. This makes the TurboTax discount all the more appealing. Plus, credit union members save up to $15 on TurboTax products – there's no reason for them to go anywhere else!

If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact client support at ClientSupport@CUSolutionsGroup.com or by phone at 866-348-2887.
