This offer is for new users only. If you filed with TurboTax last year, you can still get this promo by registering with a different email. Thx to qianwenchao1 for the tip.

I used this deal last year and plan to use it again this year. Last year, I was able to complete and file my return using the desktop version of the website, and I was also able to submit my return after the deadline stated in the deal. Everything appears to be behaving the same way this year, so I'm posting the steps I used to get around the mobile app requirement.
Step 1: Start your return in the mobile app. Step 2: In the app, upgrade TurboTax to whatever level you need. In my case, I needed Premium and a state return. To trigger the Premium upgrade, I went to the Income section and attempted to add rental income, then started my state return. Step 3: In the app, go to the File tab and proceed to Step 1, where it asks you to pay. Make sure all the upgrades you want (e.g., Premium and State) are included and showing as free. If everything looks correct, proceed to checkout. Once completed, you should receive a confirmation email. At this point, you should be able to open the desktop version of the website and continue working on your taxes there. Finally, if things work the same way as last year, as long as you complete the checkout process described above before February 28, you should still be able to submit your return after that date. |

What happens if I file my taxes after February 28?
If you file after February 28, 2026, the cost of TurboTax goes back to regular pricing, which is based on your tax situation.
The cut off time to file is 11:59pm ET on February 28, 2026.
Do I have to upgrade if I have a complex tax situation?
We might ask you to upgrade, but we'll waive the fee as long as you file on the app by February 28. However, if you don't file by February 28, the price of the upgrade will apply.
This applies to our paid Standard, Deluxe, and Premium products, which are typically required for more complex tax situations.
This includes situations like:
Itemized deductions claimed on Schedule A, like charitable contributions, medical expenses, mortgage interest and state and local tax deductions
Unemployment income reported on a 1099-G
Business or 1099-NEC income (often reported by those who are self-employed, gig workers or freelancers)
Stock sales (including crypto investments)
Income from rental property or property sales
Credits, deductions and income reported on other forms or schedules
What if I don't end up filing my taxes using the app?
You're eligible for this offer when you start and file your taxes in the TurboTax or Credit Karma mobile app by February 28.
If you switch to doing your taxes using a web browser instead of the app, we'll show you a reminder that you must file in the app to redeem the offer.
If you choose not to file in the app, the cost of TurboTax will go back to regular pricing, which is based on your tax situation.
Can I still file for free without taking the offer?
~37% of filers qualify. Simple Form 1040 returns only (no schedules, except for EITC, CTC, student loan interest, and Schedule 1-A).
TurboTax Free Edition is available for qualifying new and returning customers on our website. Go to TurboTax website
What if I did file with TurboTax last year?
This offer is only available to taxpayers who didn't file with us last year.
Keep in mind, if you filed with us the year before last, but not last year, you're still eligible for this offer.
If you don't meet this eligibility requirement and try to create a new user account to try to claim this offer, this offer will not apply. Please log out, then sign in using the same credentials you used last year.
What's the difference between this and TurboTax Free Edition?
This is a limited-time offer from TurboTax that provides free, do-it-yourself filing for any tax situation. To qualify for this offer, you must meet the following requirements:
You must start and file your taxes in the mobile app
You must use the Do It Yourself product
You must not have filed your taxes using TurboTax last year
You must file this year's taxes by February 28, 2026
TurboTax Free Edition is a tax filing product that's available year round on the web or the app. However, only customers with simple tax situations are eligible. ~37% of filers qualify. Simple Form 1040 returns only (no schedules, except for EITC, CTC, student loan interest, and Schedule 1-A).

The best price looks to $55 on Amazon. Anyone know of a better deal?
