I agree with Fnord on this one. The Turbo Tax offer was a valid one -- essentially it was $10 off the cost of a state download. I do consumer advocacy for a living and this wasn't a rip-off.

Edgar replies: Michael and Fnord... The store sells Turbo Deluxe Federal for $49.99. They sell TurboTax Deluxe Federal and State for $59.99. The consumer is paying $10 extra to obtain the state portion, rather than getting a "free state download" as Office Depot represents. If the product shown on the right was $49.99 and included state, then, yes, state would really be free as advertised. But that is not the case here. It is also irrelevant what the regular price of the state portion is.
