Does TurboTax offer discounts or promo codes when doing your taxes on TurboTax online? My computer is too old to use the discs sold on Amazon or in Costco.

Nope.

 

Be aware that  the online TurboTax Free Edition is very limited to only simple returns--so be careful----if your return requires any of the schedules or extra forms then an upgrade to a paid version will be required.

 

There are  eight various software providers who will participate in the 2021 Free File program but they will not be available until sometime in January----so if you want to use one of them---WAIT.

 

Use this IRS site for other ways to file for free  when the program opens in January

Did you use Turbo Tax on your computer last year?   Will you need to transfer from 2020 into the Online version?

 

If you used the Desktop program before you may not like the online version.  It has less features and no Forms Mode.  You can only do 1 return.  Your return is only saved online so be sure to save both the .tax2021 data file and the pdf file to your computer when you are done.  In case you need to amend in the future or if you need a copy to get a loan or something.  You might not be able to access your online return when you need a copy.
