You can file your taxes for free with TurboTax if you qualify for the Free Edition. Here’s how:
- Eligibility: The TurboTax Free Edition is available for simple tax returns that use Form 1040 only. This includes W-2 income, limited interest and dividend income, the standard deduction, and certain tax credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Child Tax Credit (CTC)
- Getting Started: To start filing for free, visit the TurboTax Free Edition page and follow the step-by-step instructions. You can import your W-2 information directly or manually enter it
- Limitations: If your tax situation is more complex (e.g., you have itemized deductions, self-employment income, or stock sales), you may need to upgrade to a paid version
You can also get a TurboTax discount through various methods:
- Affiliate Partner Discounts: TurboTax partners with various organizations to offer discounts.
- Military Discounts: Active-duty military personnel and reservists can get special pricing on TurboTax products by verifying their military status on the TurboTax Military landing page
