Intuit (the makers of TurboTax) is looking for people who do their own taxes to give us feedback on a new TurboTax product. Qualified testers who complete the beta will receive an Amazon or iTunes gift certificate worth $40 (your choice)!!!

The beta test is done through your web browser – you can do it right at home. It will require approximately four hours of your time. None of your tax data will be required. If you are invited to join, you will participate in the test at your convenience between October 26th and November 3rd.

If you are interested, please complete this survey:

Just got this email:

Thank you for signing up to be a TurboTax beta tester. We had an overwhelming response to our request for participants—over eight times as many users applied as we had space for. Unfortunately, you were not selected this year.

We looked at a variety of factors to ensure that we were getting as broad of a cross-section of users as possible and regret that we could not take everyone who applied. We genuinely appreciate your willingness to help make TurboTax even better.

Thank you again for your interest.

Still nothing for compensation... This is the last email i got from them:

Hi Gina,

We're expecting to get these out by the end of this week. You will be
receiving an electronic gift code (via email) that you can use on
Amazon.

Thanks for supporting the TurboTax Beta.

Boy that really stinks! If you are buying gifts for the kids with it you could always wrap them up anyway and tell the kids they got stuck in the chimney!

ROFLMAO... thats a good idea, but we don't do the 'santa' thing with the girls.... Its ok i'm done xmas shopping just would have been nice to have the extra $40 for it KWIM... I sent the first email and got a repose on Dec 11th, `they initially said the GC would be sent out in December, they better hurry up they don't have much time left...
