How do I refer a friend? The link I copied is saying "you can't refer yourself", I'm helping a friend do their taxes for the first time.

Please see the Help Article here that will walk you through the qualifications of the Invite A Friend Program.  

Yeah we tried that, the link I emailed kept saying "you can't refer yourself", even when we tried it on his computer. We tried two different links and still couldn't get it to work.

Guys I understand how the friend program works, I'm telling you the link I received was broken.

I am not sure what link they provided - or where it (did not) take you to - but try this one as I just tried it (starting steps) and it worked...I hope it works for you, too!
