Received an email about 40% discount but it's not applied to my order

Hi I received an email about a 40% off deal from TurboTax Canada but it didn't mention a code. After clicking on the email link, I can see the marketing page with an expected $24/return fee for Premier but when clicking on the "Get Started" button and signing in, it's not applied to my return that is in progress. Instead I see a fee of $34 instead of $40, probably from another promotion code.  Is also tried to type [phone number removed] as a coupon but it didn't work (I get an error "Voucher code is expired or invalid.").

It looks like a bug, is it possible to get a coupon code directly on the return's order page?

Thanks,

Didn't get a reply from the moderator but I called the support who said that it was a bug and to pay the fee and ask for a refund after that. I hope TT billing will honor what their support said to me!

The exact same thing has happened to me. I am going to wait for a fix before paying.

Is this 40% discount glitch still ongoing? I too received the 40% discount email. However, the discount is not applied at checkout even if I opened Turbotax via the sale link.

FYI I made a request for a refund with the following link before the expiration of the 40% discount (expiration mentioned in the marketing email). I will post when I hear back!

Hi, i received the email offer for 40% off, but i wasn't able to get it to apply at checkout, had to pay full price. Can anyone from Turbo Tax help me?

Hello. Thanks for responding. Just to confirm, I was sent a 40% off coupon (picture attached in my original post). When I went to finish filing my taxes, the 40% coupon was never applied. It looks like I was messaged saying that I would have a private response, but I haven't received anything. My files needed to be filed so I had to pay full price.  Now I see that you messaged me wondering why I'm waiting for a response. Frankly, I would like to be reimbursed the 40% off as promised in that email that was sent to me. It clearly said that it would be applied at checkout and it never was. Please let me know if you need more information than this. Thank you!

Fyi Turbotax

 

I just did the same and filed via the link in an email from you indicating a 40% discount of filled by March 26, 2026. It did not show as being applied when I paid for our two premier filings ( $40 each). Link for File Now:

I've been trying to send a private message to this same end,  and the functionality does not appear to be available both in mobile and computer version on this platform. The platform is not great,  and would appreciate being contacted to get reimbursement for the discount that was offered.  Should not have to go out of my way to get what turbo tax offered, and which the company should be going out of its way to rectify. I have the email to show whomever but it needs to be not through this platform.
