With the TurboTax mobile app, filing your return using your iPhone, Android phone, iPad, or Android tablet is fast, easy, and secure. On average, customers using the mobile app take 30% less time to complete their taxes than those using TurboTax Online.

You can use the app to file or switch back and forth between TurboTax Online and the app. Everything is synced.

With the mobile app, you can:

  • Use your mobile phone camera to snap a pic of your W-2 and other documents. Your info will be automatically entered in your return.

  • Use your face to sign in instead of having to remember a password.

  • Get filing reminders and updates on forms availability and refund status.

Note: The mobile app doesn't have Print Center or Tax Tools.

If you're stuck, go to the question mark in the upper-right corner, and you can get answers to commonly asked questions, ask your own question, or have a live specialist contact you via one-way video (you’ll see them, but they won’t see you) to answer your questions.
