Fidelity Investments Is Offering $0 TurboTax Online or $5 Desktop Premier (for select account holders)

+8 Deal Score
26,721 Views
Fidelity Investments is offering discounts for TurboTax 2025 the online and desktop version. The final price depends on the discount offered by Fidelity based on your account status. The default is for the online version, but I would not recommend the online version if you want to upgrade to Home and Business version.

Instruction:
~ Log into you Fidelity account. https://www.fidelity.com/
~ Scroll down down and look for "Exclusive: Free TurboTax Do It Yourself Premium". Click the green button "Get Started Now".
~ Click on "Claim your discount with TurboTax"
~ Continue on until you get to the page that says "File your taxes free with Do It Yourself Premium". For me, it shows $99 being crossed off and $0* being the price. If you click on "Get Started", it will take you to Intuit login page and will give you the actual price based on the service you select. Since Intuit knows I have Small Business QuickBooks, they automatically selected Small Business online version and wanted to charge me a higher fee (I think it was like $165). It may be $0 for a simple individual filer.

Hack: For those who wants to stick with Home and Business desktop version, do the following:
~ On the page that states "File your taxes free with Do It Yourself Premium", scroll down a little bit and look for the white box that says "Offer details for Fidelity clients" and click on the link that says "TurboTax Premier Desktop download". Continue on and pay the $5 fee. After the payment, download the TurboTax 2025 to you computer and enter the code that was provided when your payment was processed. Login into your TurboTax 2025 software (ignore the offer to upgrade to the online version for free) and click on "Help" on the upper left corner of your TurboTax 2025 screen. Select upgrade. You should see the option to upgrade to Home and Business desktop version for extra $15.

Note: Last year, I started my tax return late. Fidelity removed the free offer link when I tried to look for it in early March. So best to download it now even if you don't intend to start the filing till later.

If this post is helpful, your rep is greatly appreciated. Peace

That's a little odd about the hiccup. But that's good it did eventually install.
Unfortunately, my computer is too old for MS to upgrade from 10 to 11. But I did get an extra year from MS for Windows 10 patches.
I wound up using a mini-PC I bought about 1.5 years ago that has Windows 11 to install TT on. I normally don't to "productive" work on it, but I will have to in this case.
Install Win11 23H2 if the computer is very old (no SSE4.2 support). Download the ISO from Microsoft and use Rufus to remove W11's requirements.

The weird thing is that number of trades can't be a criteria. They make little on the commission and the spread.
I think you are right about managed accounts, that is where they make lots of money. Whether their stock recommendations win or lose, that management fee keeps rolling on Wink
0 commission, so profit is coming from the spread. Schwab works best with limit orders. Fidelity provides better market orders. One cannot place GTC+Extended Hour orders at Fidelity. The Fidelity's Extended Hour order is only good for the day. I don't have managed accounts, still have free TT.

If anyone has an extra copy of Premier or lives in the tax free state, I'd like to get a copy. Please PM.
Thanks


P.S. I've heard Deluxe is pretty much the same thing, but I'd rather have no surprises.
You can do capital gain/loss, qualified dividend, treasury exempt interest, and home sale with Deluxe.

How about Roth conversions? IRA and 401k? Is it identical to Premier?
Does it give you access to "Forms"?
With Premier I had to make changes in "Forms" because something didn't get added correctly or automatically.

Thanks!

Interesting. I guess the criteria is for free TurboTax is a mystery. It apparently is not a simple checklist.

Probably a combo of

1. Number of trades
2. Total family's balance
3. Managed Fidelity account

Fidelity's IT department is rather slow when it comes to adopting technology. Schwab's Thinkorswim is available in Windows, Mac, and Linux. Unfortunately, there is no cash sweep moneymarket.

Fidelity's Active TraderPro works only with Windows. The Beta Active TraderPro uses MicrosoftEdgeWebview (spyware in disguise).

All, If some one has 2025 Premier code from Fidelity and does not want to file on their own, I would like to offer AMZ $20 GC for the code to use. Thx

I may end up trying Deluxe but would rather pay extra for Premier just in case (+State PA).. Anyone with Fidelity code? AMZN or PayPal.

I have the TurboTax free deal, no managed/pay services with Fidelity but "Premium Services" listed in the profile. Significant funds (7+ figs), regularly scheduled investments, Roth accounts, HSA, traditional IRA, individual investment accounts, CMAs..

That may not help to narrow it down other than to say that it's not exclusively for managed accounts or managed funds or people paying for premium services. I don't pay Fidelity anything aside from expense ratios for indexes, or any baked in spread they may have on assets.


Edit: Willing to trade a copy of Premier 2025 web/desktop for an AGC. Please PM if interested.

Fidelity makes $ when I trade, and when $ from TreasuryDirect hits my core account. $ stays in the core account for 1/2 day under ideal condition.
