Military discount for turbotax deluxe

I added my military status for my spouse and I, but it still shows we're paying for turbotax deluxe on the last screen.  I had to manually change the name of the employer for the W-2 because it changed on ours so maybe that messed it up

Military discount for turbotax deluxe

As long as one of you were active duty for the entire year and you had a military W-2, the discount should apply.  TurboTax looks at the employer's EIN on the W-2 not the employer's name, basically to avoid the issue you are talking about or any potential typos.  Double check the EIN correctly matches your W-2.  It will still charge you for Deluxe, but it will be at a discount. It should not be the full price.
