I had to download another state. I could even use my Chase $20 (on a secondary card) for a credit on the in-app purchase for another state.

seems they must've changed their algo on who is eligible for free TT from Fidelity..This is the first year i didn't get it in a long time. What an insult when having a few MM there.
I will look to gradually move assets away from there and I encourage others to do the same as there really is no advantage to Fidelity. Realistically they should just let the PCG rep decide if they want to allocate it out or not as they are the ones that take the hit for AUM under management loss.

How do you use BofA deal? Do you just activate it or do you need to use a link for this deal?
If not - just activate and use eligible BofA card for purchase on Fidelity link?

Just curious - move assets where? From my experience they seem to be the best, so besides assets one need to keep at places like BofA or Citi to get their benefits tied to assets held - where else is a good place to held significant assets? It seems silly to move few MM of assets just because no $100 gift was offered this year :-)

It was one of the offers on my BoA Customized Cash Reward card. On my mobile app it was in the deals section. Its for Intuit Turbo Tax not Fidelity. When you use the Fidelity link it takes you to Intuit's site and you get a discount upfront on that and since you're buying from Intuit directly the BoA offer ends up stacking.

Quote from phonic :
Most people have no idea how taxes work. Even otherwise smart/knowledgeable people are complete idiots when it comes to this kind of stuff.

A co-worker of mine once refused a raise because he said it would put him in a higher tax bracket and he would end up paying more money as a result than the raise was worth....

And again, this was a generally brilliant guy who knows more about most other things than anyone would ever care to know. But he didn't have even a basic rudimentary understanding about how tax brackets worked.

Fortunately for him, I do and helped him fix that bad decision.

That's true... Most of the brilliant people in all fields are stumped when it comes to taxes.

It's literally math and some reading of the deductions if they apply to their situation. The reading is about a page or 2 per form. All those additional forms input into the 1040 in some field (and each field has an explanation of what goes into it).

The reason for this unawareness from even high IQ people is because these software companies ask a bunch of questions where you enter the details and numbers as answers and the tax softwares magically fills up the numbers in the background. For a 90% + people it's pure magic and they will struggle to comprehend if they ever have to do paper entry into the tax forms.

I am also in this category. Pretty sure I have received the free TT since 2019 and did not get it this year. When I contacted my assigned advisor's team, they lied to me about the program:

"Fidelity changed the program to offer a discount instead of offering it free. We understand a lot of clients will be disappointed by this change. You can access this discount at the following link https://www.fidelity.com/accounts...x-discount. I apologize for the change. Let us know if you have any additional questions."

I was tempted to write back to say: I know that is not true (with a link to this thread). The response irked me even more than not getting the free offer, but I don't think I will move any of my accounts away.

Fidelity tricked me this time and doesn't give me free after many many years of free TTX

Any of you nice people want to send me (DM) a key that I can use for TT Premium? I will use it only on one machine. Thanks!

I also didn't get it this year after a dozen or more of getting it. Spoke to my rep last week (he's new to me since my previous rep was promoted last year) and he read though the offer requirements and claimed that the rules had changed and I did not qualify (he seemed to feel that I needed to have a managed account). However, he did manage to get me a goodwill credit applied to my account to cover the cost of purchasing TT.

I'd actually moved some assets away from Fidelity in 2023, but left enough to remain PCG because I liked my rep and wanted to keep getting TT. I got it that year with reduced balances. Maybe I should move a bunch over to Merrill Edge. They'll give me enough of a transfer bonus to pay for TT for a decade.

Does anyone know if I purchased the Mac download, if the 5 downloads must all be Mac or can you use the license on a windows version?
