Very frustrating with this "selected offer". Been a PCG client for 10+ years, and increased my AUM @ Fidelity last couple of years by moving my company's account and parents' accounts there. Last year I emailed my PCG coverage asking for the offer, he gave me a code. This year, he told me they are unable to provide customized codes and any offers that are received are going through "automation" process setup by the Promotion Team. And no, they don't know (or unwilling) to share how to qualify.

FWIW, I do have meaning AUM @ Fidelity but I only trade about 10-20x per year, so probably do not generate enough transactional value for them.

I am only seeing 25% off, which is kind of BS considering if I move my money elsewhere, I'll get $3k-10k in transfer bonus if I just move partial account balance. The point is not that I can't afford Turbotax Premier, it's that they aren't giving the promotions to HNW clients that is frustrating.

Yes, I still do my own taxes because I figure by the time I finished gathering all the data, I am 80% done, would only take 2-3 more hours to finish and I don't have to wait for an accountant.

I guess Fidelity knows that as stingy as they may be in this promotion, they are banking on clients not switching and moving their money arounnd.

FYI, talked to two different people/two different phone numbers at Fidelity Investments, and they both said that the $5 TurboTax Premier will be posted in Mid-January when you log in to your account.
Logged in to my account, and both of them said to type in "Turbotax discount" in the search box at top right. Clicked on the first link, and it brought up an announcement page. They said it would also have a link to download the software instead of doing it online. We will see.😊

There is no known criteria. Fidelity doesn't say and it is very inconsistent in terms of who gets the offer.

According to the two people I talked to on 12/27/24, you must have $500k in assets and make 72 trades or more during the year.

I've got significantly more than 500k with them (excluding retirement accounts) and still only 25%. I wonder if it's broken out by product type or those who say "trades" are correct--I'm mostly in low-cost index funds with little churn

We have over 1M in assets with them. The catch is 72 traders per year. We had around 40. Will see what happens around mid-January.
