Promotion Details

Bottom Line

I was going to file my taxes anyway this year, now I’ll earn bonus miles doing so.

In terms of tracking, I usually just keep track of my business spending through my American Express Open business card and my Chase Ink Plus and Ink Bold Business cards, but the Quicken tool actually seems like it will integrate well into bank accounts, credit card accounts and might be helpful in preparing my taxes for next year.

Do you plan to take advantage of any bonus offers to file your taxes electronically this year?
