Audit Defense is, indeed, included in 2023 TurboTax Home and Business as a "free" service that is an added value to the 2023 Intuit tax return package .. the reply did not solve my problem .. when you file your taxes, you have to click on "accept" the Audit Defense add, but a ton of folks, myself included, did not do this when filing taxes since Audit Defense had historically always been a $$ pricey add and was not previously a free service add .. so I did not sign up for Audit Defense when I filed my taxes .. but I did receive the email from Intuit several days ago citing that Audit Defense was a free add for 2023 and that one could still sign up for it up to the time one receives an audit notification from the IRS, at which point the ?audit Defense free offer add for 2023 would no longer apply .. so i did use the links in the email to access my Intuit account after making certain that the email was genuine .. and the Inuit website has a process within it that accepts the request to sign up for Audit Defense belatedly after tax filing, but as stated in my original question, after one fills in all the information to sign up for the audit Defense 2023 add service, the blue "accept" button at the bottom of the page cannot be accessed because the overall Audit Defense add page on the Intuit website is slightly oversized and the blue "accept" button cannot be accessed as it is just beneath the bottom of the viewable screen .. and the screen cannot be resized manually by the person (myself) filling in the form .. so, since the Intuit website itself accepts the link from the Intuit email to sign up for Audit Defense for 2023 even after tax filing, as instructed in the Intuit email, this entire belated Audit Defense sign up appears to be genuine, it just falls victim to a poorly designed internal Intuit sign up sheet that does not allow the user to hit the blue "accept" button and sign up after the fact .. nevertheless, I'll still go ahead and forward the email to Intuit in case it really is a phishing attempt .. that said, when I filled out my 2023 taxes, I did read that Audit Defense is a free add for 2023 and Intuit's own community website acknowledges that one can sign up for the service after filing but before being audited .. I suspect that the email that I got from intuit reminding me about all this was sent because Intuit figure out that so few people had accepted the 2023 free service when filing that Intuit wanted to alert everyone after the fact and get more people signed up for protection's sake ..
