Fortunately TurboTax makes it pretty easy with step by step guidance and support available throughout the way.

- File for free with TurboTax Free Edition — You’ll pay nothing at all to file your federal and state taxes with the TurboTax Free Edition if you have a simple tax return.

We are updating this page on an ongoing basis as the latest deals come in to us so be sure to check back again for the latest TurboTax offers through April 15, 2025 (that’s this year’s federal tax filing deadline). Just remember that the closer we get to the deadline the less likely we’ll see as many offers (prices have historically gone up for last minute filers).
What is a TurboTax Service Code?
From time to time, and only in special circumstances, TurboTax may issue you something called a “Service Code” — It’s a 7-digit number used for either order tracking or for applying a special credit (usually distributed by folks in Intuit’s customer service department). But if you happen to use any promotions found on this page, you’ll find that all of them have a service code built into the link url. That means any discount will be automatically applied with no other codes needed at checkout.
If you happen to have a service code that you would like to use, then you’ll be able to apply it to your TurboTax Online purchase, if applicable, right before the “view payments” section under the “file” tab as shown in the screenshot below.
How else can I save on TurboTax?
You may be able to save on TurboTax through your bank or financial institution. For example, in year’s past their was a Citibank TurboTax discount available if you completed your TurboTax purchase through your online banking account (found in the special offers section of your account). However, the partner discounts, like the one from Citi, are usually no more than $5 to $15 off which in many cases is less than the offers we typically highlight on this page. You can learn more about the options available at citi.com.
Does it cost extra to file a State tax return with TurboTax?
If you need to file a State tax return along with Federal tax return, then there is an extra filing fee that you will need to pay. The cost will vary from State to State and may depend on the version of TurboTax that you’re using this year and the number of State returns you need to file. There are usually no extra discounts offered from TurboTax on State returns.
