After getting it for free the last couple of years, that link only shows $20 off. Bummer!
UPDATE: Nvm! I see it on the summary page after refreshing a couple of times.

How to download instead of online version?
UPDATE: Figured out how to download. After logging in, I reopened the Fidelity link, on the top menu goto file your taxes, cd/download, compare products, and the premier should be $0. Had to try this several times but finally got the download version.
Ah bummer, I don't see it anywhere in my account. Only the $20 offer.

EDIT: Found the eligibility requirements from last year's thread:

Can you change OS after the download?
No problem as long as you save the "activation" code to enable the software on the fresh installation.

But where do you "get" the new download for a different OS?

I would think most people with a $500,000 minimum portfolio aren't going to use Turbo Tax for their taxes.

Isn't Fidelity high in fees? I remember talking to them and they seemed on the very high end. Can't remember specifics. Was recommended to use an AI fund with really low fees over Fidelity.
iwheela

I just buy vanguard ETFs and a few comparable fidelity ETFs and the fees are tiny.

I think they make money by loaning out your shares or something because they have no transaction fees now unless international.

Ya I think you need 250k in a non retirement account to get this deal. You could just transfer from another brokerage, get the deal and transfer out. It doesn't trigger a stock sale.

Easiest method? If you got a *.dmg for Mac or *.exe for Windows, just repeat the method you got the first link from to get the other. Bonus = you'll get another activation code for the other OS, which likely works for either.

I simply added the Windows and Mac to my "cart' during my $0 'checkout' and received an email with licenses + download links for both.

EDIT: Here are the SHA-1 checksums for both:

The rubric is a mystery but it seems more likely if you have at least $2M for 2+ years.
That is incorrect. You need to be Private Client Group, which is $1m, or Premium Services which is $500k, but you are more likely to get it at the $1m level. See the info I included at the end of this post.

The OP beat me to creating the thread this year, but I did a much better job of documenting things in the thread I created last year (also spelled the product correctly in the title).

Quote from CosmodNC :
On their site this morning. The offer is for a certain tier of customer, to achieve that tier you need 250k+ in investment accounts. I could have read it wrong but I have accounts and it only offered me $20 off.
On the Fidelity site - https://www.fidelity.com/trading/...ice-levels

They mention requirements. The $250k is if you are an Active Trader Services customer:

Active Trader Services
Trades: 120+ stock, ETF, or option trades in the past 12 months
Portfolio Value: $250,000 or complex trading needs

And here are the requirements from the fine print of that page for free TurboTax:

Certain covered clients: Private Wealth Management (PWM) client and owns one or more nonretirement account(s) or PCG, Premium, and ATS clients with minimum assets of either: PWI assets of $1,000,000 or more and PI assets of at least $500,000 and own one or more nonretirement account or Nonretirement assets $1,000,000 or more. Applies to Federal returns and one state return only. Cost of additional state returns are the responsibility of the client.

Definitions:
PWI = Personal & Workplace Investments (aka 401k/pension/ESPP/etc.)
PI = Personal Investments (individual, joint, IRA, Roth IRA, etc. accounts)

I don't have anywhere close to $250K in a non-retirement account, but I was able to get this deal. Maybe I've made enough trades to trigger some threshold.

I just installed the Windows version, and it said the license is good for five computers.

So if you were going to get Premier then the $20 off seems to be only $15 off which means for most fidelity customers who dont meet the free threshold right now Amazon or Costco is substantially cheaper (69.99 vs 84.99). Only a deal for the free one.

Can anyone post a screen shot of this offer, so I can ask my Private client advisor to get it for me?
Thanks

Not my case I got TurboTax® Premier free
I don't have 1M or 250K in my Fidelity account just an IRA rollover and I only trade a few times a month in this account and most are free trade
(My main trading accounts are all in TD Ameritrade and they has earn a lot more commission from me there)

My wife Fidelity account is over 250K but she only got $20 off

The only thing I can think of is I opened a cash account recently because they have a $100 Bonus offer when you deposit $50 to the account

Quote from BPD007 :
I just talked to Fidelity rep, requirements are-
requirements are 120+ trades in a calendar year, or an account with over $1M in assets.

Probably should be put in the OP
Either I got it by mistake or he/she is BS'ing, My wife account certainly should qualified for 120 trades but not in my case I did maybe 100 trades in this account so far
