There would be a box at the bottom of that page telling you that you can download Turbotax for free if you qualified.

What level customer are you? In general, Private Client Group customers ($1m in non-401(k) assets) get it. Some Premier Services customers ($250-500k in assets) have also gotten it if they are frequent traders. You do not get this deal just for having $100k in assets with Fidelity.

If you are familiar with the Bogleheads site, there is a thread there with lots more info.
I'm Premium Services even though I've got more in assets than the range you mentioned for that tier.

I don't see any box at bottom of page, I only see that one box with the link to LEARN MORE about the tax software options (and it takes me to the link in my previous comment).

It's ok, I probably didn't qualify, which sucks because I have in years past.

Well, if you have a rep you could try contacting them. I've read that some reps have reimbursed customers for purchasing TT when they did not get the offer. YMMV, of course.

Also if you have a spouse and they are joint on your Fidelity accounts, you could try logging on as them to see if the offer is on their account.

Thanks for the info - I'll try my rep and see if he can do anything for me.

And you don't even have to say "I read about it online" since you said that you had it in the past.

in my account summary page I do see "get tubotax premier for free" at the bottom. However the link at the bottom merely says "get started now" - do i click on this? when I click on it it takes me to TT website and I do see a download at the bottom - but the actual link says "see products" - but if I click on this, then it goes to another page where I see a bunch of products and "buy now" links for each - I am not sure this is free for me.

never mind. I was able to download the free premier version from TT website by going through fidelity. This is the first year I was able to get this offer from Fidelity though I have been a high networth customer at fidelity for several years

I do have one managed Fidelity account and other retirement accounts with very little trade activity. I have been offered free Premier for the past few years.

Picture from the bottom of the summary page.
