Yes, the TurboTax online editions are free for active military enlisted personnel. The Live online editions are NOT free.

In the My Info section of the program you need to indicate that you are active military. You must enter a Military W-2 in the Wages & Income section and after completing the W-2 on the screen labeled Let's check for uncommon situations you will need to check the box Active military duty

I have indicated in My Info that my husband is currently on active duty. I have his military W-2 and it is entered correctly. The active duty box is checked under Let's check for some other situations, see below:

Were you a member or former member of the US Armed Forces (active, reserve, or National Guard) in 2024?

Yes - box is checked

What was your military status as of December 31, 2024?

I entered the military in 2024.

I left the military in 2024.

I was in the military all year. - bullet is checked

Reserves

Former member (retired, veteran, etc.)

After the W-2 is entered, the page with Let's check for uncommon situations opens up, see below:
