Free TurboTax Premier (Federal E File) Online for Fidelity customers

Wow nice work everyone. I just chatted and am getting a refund for 20% of my price, about 15 bucks. I didn't push back at all though, being at work and all so that I could pay my "fair share".

Unless you want to import from previous TurboTax return, otherwise there are quite a few FREE or low cost alternative.

Actually most tax software like H&R Blocks can directly import TurboTax file from previous year.

Just talked to their customer service chat room and they were able to provide a code to remove the federal fee. Probably could've pushed for the state fee too but the rep was very nice. Thanks guys.

Thanks for the heads up. I to was given a code, and it ended up clearing both federal and state cost ($0 total). Very nice. Thanks to all!

Thanks for the info.

After talking with CS I got it for free ^_^

thanks OP for sharing this deal
private client with fidelity. saw $0 premier offer and registered. once on the turbo tax site went to my tools --> fees and a $35 charge was listed. chat useless. will complain to fidelity tomorrow. oddly enough in another family member's account (also private client) same $0 offer appeared and they have $0 listed under fees. i always knew fidelity hated me :p

ETA:
well it's now working at least for private client customers - was able to click the premier button again and sign into the account i created yesterday, and the fees are now $0.

had to do a webchat to get a service code. they asked me to copy and paste the "My Fees" window, to see the total charges. i told them i plan to complete state tax as well. my code covered both fed and state!

wait time was long, chat lasted about 15 minutes.

happy its over now.

anyone know how to remove a prior service code?

I chatted with them to get the downgrade code before I started the State return part. Now I see the charge of $27.99 for the State part. I guess I'll just leave it as it is and don't file the State return with TurboTax. I have H&R Blocks that would efile my State return for free. I compared the 2 programs and found TurboTax includes my State tax payment in the calculation for the Federal return while the H&R does not. At the end, I will pay less federal tax with TurboTax but the State tax is the same with both.

Was able to talk my 2nd rep into a free federal efile downgrade after some prying. State will be 27.99. Took two tries but finally got a downgrade code, somewhat difficult for those contemplating trying it.

I filed for free using your trick.... i talked to TT chat support and asked them that i am fidelity customer but i still dont get free TT...they gave me service code and hola!!!!!!!! its free for me..... hail SD

I got a chat rep to give me the free federal premier deal. Ended up paying $27.99 for state.

Figured that was easier than trying to downgrade to the cheaper version.

Told him the truth...that the free link was there and then it went away before I got my data from Fidelity.

The chat rep gave me a one time use code that made the federal free.

I must have some form of sadomasochisticism as I am spending this beautiful day being shot down by the chat group from India trying to get my Active Traders account link validated.
