How will I know my TurboTax discount is properly applied?

Regardless which of the offers you use above, all TurboTax discounts are automatically applied to your order when you (a) follow a qualifying link and (b) login to your online TurboTax account. The same is true if you are taking advantage of a TurboTax discount through your bank or financial institution such as Fidelity, Bank of America, Citi or Vanguard. You’ll know that the offer is successfully applied once you are ready to pay for your TurboTax purchase. See below for an example.

What is a TurboTax service code?

When finalizing your tax return using any one of TurboTax’s online versions, you’ll come across a “I have a service code” message in your cart. What does this mean? Well, under certain circumstances select customers are given a code to tie back their purchase to a customer service agent, to apply a make-good discount (for example, if you were already changed previously for a version of TurboTax), or for some other reason. Very few customers are given these codes to use so if you don’t already have one then be sure to keep this space black.

Can I stack TurboTax discounts together towards a single purchase?

You’ll often find that there are several discounts offered for the same versions of TurboTax depending on where you look. For example, Fidelity may be offering $20 off Deluxe Online when purchased through your account, Chase Bank may be offering $10 off Deluxe Online when purchased through your account, you might find a $20 instant coupon on this page on Deluxe Online, maybe a $5 coupon on Reddit or Slickdeals, and so forth. Always choose the best deal because you will not be able to combine offers into a single purchase. Keep in mind that the last offer you clicked will be applied to your purchase — It’s the only one that counts.

Updated on Sunday, December 22, 2024: If you’re a regular user of TurboTax software then you probably already know that each year they run a number of different deals. And you’re in luck as we’re once again tracking the best TurboTax discounts for the 2025 tax season. Here’s our list of favorite deals you can take advantage of today (we are updating this list on an ongoing basis through this year’s tax deadline on Monday April 15th).

Do I need to apply a promo code to activate my TurboTax discount?

No you don’t. That’s because all of offers posted above already have the appropriate discount codes embedded in the links; just click through and you’ll see the offer applied to your purchase. This is typical of TurboTax.

What’s a TurboTax “Service Code”?

If you decide to work through your tax return this year using the online version of TurboTax (the most popular option for most folks) you’ll notice a “service code” box once you approach checkout. The naming is confusing, but it’s just an area where you can enter a code if one was given to you from Intuit’s customer support team. From a case to case basis, their team sometimes issues codes to customers to either track a purchase back to a support agent or to apply a make-good price adjustment.

What other offers are available from TurboTax?

We here at Blacker Friday are working around the clock to track all of the most popular offers available this tax season. However, there are other offers available out there, most notably for select banking and financial institution customers.

For example, if you’re an American Express card holder then you can login to your online account and very this week’s available offers. The same goes for any of your other banking accounts, i.e. Bank of America, Citibank, Wells Fargo, etc.. These offers tend to come and go — usually not available all tax-season long— and will vary depending on what type of customer you care (corporate, individual, high-wealth, etc.). It’s worth taking a look into your account to see if there is anything special available.

Which version of TurboTax should I choose?

If you’re filing a joint tax return, have multiple investments or W2 forms coming in, then it can be overwhelming when choosing with version of TurboTax to choose. You don’t want to start off a higher version than needed because not only is it not needed and more expensive to purchase, but also hard to downgrade as you’ll need to start over if switching to a lower version.

That’s why we recommend starting off with the lowest versions of TurboTax online… and that’s the “free” versions. Once you start filling out your return and adding your tax forms and income information, the program will guide you to the correct version of the software as you go along.

When’s this year’s tax deadline?

This year you’ll have up until Monday April 15, 2025 to file your federal tax return and pay any taxes you owe or to file a tax extension. If you are granted a tax extension then you’ll have until October 15, 2025 to file, but you will still need to pay any estimated taxes owed by this deadline in order to avoid any late fees or interest charges.
