I need 3 for my family, so cuts down on value to me. I had already bought HR Block ($20 for deluxe via newegg deal) which has 5 free federal files, but no free state files (I just print state and mail it in).
I'll see what Fidelity offers next year before I buy elsewhere first.
Code is good for 5 computers
What does "Code is good for" mean? I assume you are trying to say you can install on 5 computers? However when I mentioned "3 for my family" I did not mean they all installed on their own computers. I install it on one computer and then do my and my 2 dependent daughter's tax returns from there, so I only care about how many e-filings are covered. The literal text on the Fidelity site says "a", implying only one e-filing is covered.
The install key is a separate question, and it can also be used 5 times, but that's to install on different machines.
Also, the Fidelity wording actually applies to the online version, in which case it really is a single return. You need to get the download version to do multiples, although in theory you could use the free Turbotax link multiple times to different TT Online logins to file three returns for free there. If you use the online version, state e-filing is also free (because they charge for the state software and e-filing together and it's free with the Fidelity offer.

This is for my daughter's return. I am using the downloaded version for my own taxes.
ETA: I clicked around some more and found that I had to upgrade to Premier before getting the free promotion. If I left it as is, I would have had to pay upon filing. Now it looks good!
You can also go to the filing page even before you're ready to file and "pay" for the product. In the case of the Fidelity offer, it's free. That way you are locked in no matter what machine you use.

Originally, I did start at the landing page and clicked the $0 for premier, but the system changed the product in response to the questions about the filer (single, no dependents, etc.). Maybe I should have skipped that part somehow.

Glad you were able to lock in the free Premier.
