How can a tax preparation firm afford to give away 50 dollars/return?


Give away 50 Dollars

How is it that a national tax preparation chain can afford to give away 50 dollars with each return they prepare in January and early February each year? The answer is that they raise their preparation fees by $50 or more to cover this “giveaway”. It is an interesting marketing tool and one that obviously serves them well. Otherwise they wouldn’t offer it every year and spend most of their early tax season marketing budgets to proclaim it.

This is probably the reason their competitor is giving away $1,000 to 1,000 people each day for 32 days this tax season. That is a total payout of $32,000,000. That is a big bet that people will choose their service this year after choosing others in the past.
