Updated on Sunday, February 1, 2026: Nobody likes doing their taxes, but hey, we have to get it done (and now’s the season to do it!). Fortunately, TurboTax has a few good deals that are now live to help you save a few bucks. Here’s a look at the best TurboTax offers you’ll be able to find this week.
Top TurboTax Discounts & Offers, February 2026:
- Extra 20% off TurboTax Online Federal — For a limited time, you can get an additional 20% off any TurboTax Online Federal product. You can choose the version that works best for you: Do-It-Yourself if you’re comfortable handling your taxes on your own, Live Assisted if you want an expert available to answer questions along the way, or Full Service if you’d rather have someone do it all for you. This offer is good through March 30, 2026, and applies to federal returns only.
- Early-bird savings — Filing early can save you up to $40 with TurboTax’s early-bird pricing, available through February 27, 2026. You still have the flexibility to pick the type of support you want, whether that’s doing it yourself, getting guidance from an expert, or letting someone else handle the whole return. Filing early is an easy way to get a head start and take advantage of extra savings.
- Switch and file for free in the TurboTax app — Didn’t file with TurboTax last year? You can switch and do your taxes for free using the Do It Yourself option in the TurboTax or Credit Karma mobile app. This works for both federal and state returns, and it handles almost any situation—from simple returns to things like self-employment income, stock or crypto sales, rental property, or itemized deductions. You might be asked to upgrade if your return is complex, but the fee will be waived as long as you file in the app by 11:59pm ET on February 28, 2026. Just remember, if you file after that or switch to a browser instead of the app, regular pricing applies. It’s a simple, low-pressure way to start your taxes and see how everything looks before you commit.
- Military discount — Active duty military members and reservists from E1 through E9 can file both federal and state returns for free using TurboTax Deluxe, Premier, or Self-Employed. This excludes TurboTax Live and Desktop (CD/Download) products. A W-2 from DFAS is required to qualify. Military veterans and retirees still get the standard TurboTax discount available to everyone else.
- TurboTax for College Students — If this is your first time filing, TurboTax walks you through each step so it doesn’t feel overwhelming. Qualifying students may be able to get more than $1,000 back through education credits and deductions. International students can get help with non-resident tax returns through Sprintax.
- TurboTax Free Edition — About ~37% of filers qualify. Simple Form 1040 returns only (no schedules, except for EITC, CTC, student loan interest, and Schedule 1-A).
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 Tuesday, April 15, 2026 (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.
