Top TurboTax Discounts & Offers – April 2026

Updated on Wednesday, April 8, 2026: This year’s tax deadline is almost here and it’s time to start thinking about filing our returns if you haven’t done so already. TurboTax is once again offering some notable end-of-season discounts from now through April 15th, which could help reduce the cost of filing your taxes. Whether you’re someone who prefers to handle everything on your own or you’re in need of professional help, there’s likely a TurboTax plan that fits your needs, and with the right timing, you can save big.

In addition to some of the general TurboTax offers, there’s also a special offer available for AAA members. If you’re a member of the American Automobile Association, you can take advantage of extra savings on TurboTax products, which is just one of the many perks of being a part of this organization. Let’s take a closer look at the best TurboTax discounts available this month, how you can use them, and how AAA members can maximize their savings even further.

1. Save an extra 10% on TurboTax with instant coupon (federal versions)

For a limited time, you can get an additional 10% off TurboTax with this instant coupon, valid through April 15, 2026. This offer applies to federal tax products only and does not include state filing. Final prices are determined when you print or e-file your return and may change at any time.

2. 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).

3. AAA Member Discounts on TurboTax

If you’re a member of the American Automobile Association (AAA), you can also get an exclusive discount on TurboTax products this tax season. As one of the 60 million AAA members in North America, you’re eligible for $5 to $15 off TurboTax Online, which can be a great way to lower your tax preparation costs.

The AAA discount applies to various TurboTax products, including their Deluxe, Premier, and Self-Employed versions. Depending on your region and membership level, you could save up to $20 on your TurboTax filing.

Here’s how to take advantage of the AAA discount:

  1. Visit your regional AAA website: For example, members in Northern California should go to calstate.aaa.com, while those in North Carolina should visit carolinas.aaa.com. If you’re unsure which website applies to you, check your local AAA branch for details.
  2. Log in or create an account: If you haven’t already, you’ll need to log in to your existing AAA account or create a new one. Keep in mind that you need to be an active member to access the discount.
  3. Search for the TurboTax link: Once logged in, navigate to the “offers” section and find the TurboTax link. This will take you to a page where you can access TurboTax’s offerings with your AAA discount already applied.
  4. Check your discount: Before completing your purchase, ensure that the discount has been applied correctly. You’ll see the savings on the “Review your order” screen before finalizing your payment. If the discount isn’t showing up, double-check the link and try again.

It’s important to note that the AAA discount runs regionally, meaning the specific offer or amount can vary depending on where you live. Some regions may offer higher or lower savings, so be sure to review the details for your specific location before purchasing.

With so many TurboTax discounts available this season, there’s no reason to wait until the last minute to file your taxes. From the 10% off on federal online products to special savings for AAA members, it’s a great time to take advantage of these offers and maximize your savings. Be sure to choose the plan that best suits your needs and don’t forget to apply your AAA discount if you’re eligible. Getting your taxes done right and saving money in the process is a win-win.

Costco TurboTax 2025 Discount (March 2025 Update)

Updated on Monday, March 3, 2025: We are happy to report that TurboTax is once again back at Costco for 2025 and now available at all local warehouse stores!

With their early season discount, you’ll save up to $20.00 on select CD/download versions of the software vs. the regular retail price. Here’s how much Costco is offering for each version at the moment:

  • TurboTax Deluxe Federal and/or Deluxe Federal + State on sale for $44.99 (normally $55.99).
  • TurboTax Premier Federal + State on sale for $64.99 (normally $82.99).
  • TurboTax Home & Business on sale for $75.99 (normally $95.99).
  • TurboTax Business (not available in warehouses, online only).

Just keep in mind that there is typically a limit of 2/each per customer. The applicable discount is automatically applied at checkout. Unfortunately, the online versions are not offered at Costco but you can still pick up a deal today at turbotax.intuit.com (online versions are now on sale through March 31, 2025 at 10% off).

What’s the difference between “CD/Download” versions and “Online” versions of TurboTax?

TurboTax’s ultimate goal is to help you file your tax return for tax year 2024. But the version you choose determines how you get it done.

If you pick up the CD/Download version of Deluxe, Premier, Home & Business, or Business at Costco then you will need to install the software on your personal computer. You will then only be able to use that computer to work on, file and submit your tax return using TurboTax. All your personal data will be locally stored on your machine. And unless you used TurboTax last year + the same computer to file your 2024 tax return, then you will also need to have your previous tax return handy to help you complete this year’s return.

On the flip side, if you decide to go with an “Online” version of TurboTax (our preferred method) then you will complete and file your tax return using your online TurboTax account. The benefits of this is that you can work on your tax return and save-as-you-go from any internet connected device; laptop, desktop, tablet and smartphone (including through the TurboTax app). That means you can start your return and, for example, your spouse can finish it off from a different device at a later date from where you left off. And if you used TurboTax Online last year then it remembers and instantly imputes last year’s tax data automatically for you where needed.

Which version of TurboTax do I need?

If you’re not sure if you need to buy Deluxe, Premier, Home & Business, or Business versions of TurboTax 2025, then be sure to get the lower-priced version of the two that you’re deciding on. That’s because regardless if you choose one of the CD/download versions or one of the online versions of TurboTax, you’ll also have an option to upgrade within the program if you need to based on your specific tax situation. The program will guide you through the process and if an upgrade is needed, then you will be directed to a payment option for the upgrade.

Here’s a look at all of our favorite offers and coupons that you can take advantage of today (this list is updated live, on an ongoing basis, through the Monday April 15th tax deadline).

TurboTax Discounts & Deals, March 2024:

  • Offer #1: File with TurboTax Deluxe from just $39. File your taxes with the online edition of TurboTax Deluxe when ordered directly from intuit.com. Normally priced at $69, this sale price is applied to your order when you visit their special offer page. Advertised prices will be valid through 11:59PM PST on March 31, 2024.

  • Offer #2: Is this the first time you’re thinking about completing and sending in your tax return on your own? Or maybe you just want to have a quick estimate on how much of a refund you can expect to see this year? Whatever the the reason, you can start and work on your tax return with TurboTax up until the point of filing. Then you can decide to purchase and file with TurboTax or not (you pay only when you file). Based on the information you enter, you’ll see the expected 2024 tax refund or the extra amount you’ll need to pay this year.

  • Offer #3: If you’re a student then it’s likely you’re not making much money right now. If so, you may actually be able to file a simple tax return for free with TurboTax this year and not pay even a penny for it (~37% of taxpayers qualify, form 1040 plus limited credits only). Even better yet, TurboTax can help you get over $1,000 back in education credits and deductions if you qualify. Plus they will help you with FAFSA filing by letting you print a FAFSA-friendly view of your completed tax form. Learn more.

  • Offer #4: The next time you login to your online banking account be sure to take a look at see if they have a deals page (I have a link in my online Bank of America account). Although we’re seeing less of these deals lately, TurboTax has a history of partnering with credit unions, banks and credit card companies and offering a discount to their clients. Some worth looking into are Capital One, Citi Bank, Vanguard, Merrill Lynch, AAA, Nasa Federal Credit Union, PenFed, and Discover Card – All of which we’ve seen these partner deals before.

  • Offer #5: If you or your spouse/parter where in active military service in any part of 2023 then you may be able to take advantage of the TurboTax’s military discount. All E1-E9 ranked military personnel get the online version of TurboTax Deluxe for free. TurboTax uses your military W-2 to verify rank and to apply the discount to your order. Only available for online versions as the desktop versions are excluded from the offer. All higher ranking military personnel will not qualify. This is an ongoing offer but only available to those who are eligible.

  • Offer #6: A number of stores sell TurboTax, including our favorite go-to place — Amazon. They usually offer a few bucks off, a 60-day money back guarantee, and even let you install the CD/Desktop version on several computers. However because their sale prices change so often (even up to several time a day on certain items) you’ll need to check out their site for today’s sale price. Unfortunately, Amazon’s TurboTax Refund Bonus Offer did not return for 2024.
