Credit Karma Tax—is it really free?
Yes! Credit Karma Tax is always 100% free. It's $0 to file both state and federal tax returns. Even if you're taking deductions or credits, it won't cost you a penny, ever.
Free Tax USA is also another free federal tax software
Everyone seems to be focused on the TT side of this, but I'm not familiar with the Lowe's for Pros program. From what I can tell there is no fee and technically it can be used for individuals without an actual business (whether that's self employed or not)? Anything else to know about the program, positive or negative?
Here is my {incredibly polarizing} post I wrote a while ago, enjoy!
Just called Intuit ((800) 624-9066) and talked to a very nice rep who was able to offer the download version (Premier with state) instead of the online version. YMMV a lot.
How did they end up applying the coupon code so you could get a download version?
When I called in the rep, who was friendly, said they don't really apply coupon codes and often companies like Lowes would provide a link to their own site. So friendly, but not helpful.
If you can elaborate on how they did it for you perhaps I'll have some luck in calling again and walking them through it.

Just FYI everyone , you have to add payment method to get code. I used one of the Visa Gift card (rebate card) & added to my profile.
@OP - this is true, I got following in a e-mail from lowes
Note that I think you have to register the card in "Lowe's For Pros Loyalty Program" in order to get the code.
Thanks! there was a clearance item at 90% off at my local lowes I couldnt buy online and couldn't find in store, I used your trick and it let me buy online and I just picked it up.
Can you explain more please, I still cant find where to enter service code.
The service code is provided by the TT rep. It is definitely YMMV. It all depends on what the cx states as the reason to get download instead of online

The main thing with these business accounts is better visibility on spend for expense tracking and end of year invoicing. I believe you also get a little pricing concession, around ~15% off some items' ticketed prices and well as bulk discounts.

How did you navigate to a live person? They seem to have a very aggressive process to block people from speaking to a real person
EDIT: finally managed to get through by just repeated calls and trying different options
Just applied the promo code to a Premier return and it brought the price down to $0. Only seems to work for online returns, not downloaded from what I can find.
I finally got through to a rep, mentioned the "service code" but the rep stated its not something they can change as its something only Lowes can do. Any guidance on what you said to get them to switch?

Edit: Never mind. It is on File page. I have a service code and it got applied succesfully.
