Updated on Monday, February 2, 2026: With tax season now in full swing, TurboTax has updated its latest discounts to help you file on time. Below is a roundup of the best current deals.
1. Extra 20% Off Federal Products
Through the end of day on, March 30, 2026, TurboTax users can receive an additional 20% discount with this instant coupon on federal products when purchased directly from Intuit. This offer is stacked on top of the current end-of-season pricing. Note that this discount applies only to federal products (state excluded).
2. New TurboTax Users Get 1st File For Free
If you didn’t use TurboTax last year (or ever), you can switch and file your taxes for free using the TurboTax or Credit Karma mobile app. Just choose the DIY option and you can file both your federal and state returns at no cost. This isn’t limited to super-simple taxes either, so income from freelancing, investing, or rentals is covered. Even if your return gets marked as more complex, the app waives any upgrade fees as long as you file by February 28, 2026.
3. File Early Before The Price Increase
Getting your taxes done sooner can knock up to $40 off the cost of a TurboTax federal return with early-bird pricing, available through February 27, 2026. You still get to choose the level of help you want, whether you’re filing on your own or working with a tax pro. On top of the savings, filing early means less stress and a faster refund.
4. Free TurboTax Freedom Edition for Military Members
Active-duty military personnel ranked E1 through E9 can file their taxes for free with the TurboTax Freedom Edition. Higher-ranking service members are eligible for discounted pricing. A military W-2 form from the 2025 fiscal year is required to qualify.
5. File for free with TurboTax Free Edition
TurboTax’s Free Edition. ~37% of filers qualify. Simple Form 1040 returns only (no schedules, except for EITC, CTC, student loan interest, and Schedule 1-A).
