JAKARTA — Tax season 2026 is here, and TurboTax is once again rolling out attractive offers to make it easier for taxpayers to handle their filing obligations. With a range of discounts of up to 20%, the online tax-filing service offers flexible solutions from a free option to full professional assistance.
For those looking for the most practical way to handle taxes without the hassle, TurboTax offers three main service options: free self-service for those who qualify, TurboTax Live Assisted with help from an online tax expert, and TurboTax Full Service, where a tax professional handles all the work for you.
10% Discount for Early Filers
Users can currently get an extra 10% discount on online federal tax filing. The offer covers W-2 and 1040 forms, with separate fees for state filing. Prices get higher as tax season goes on—so the best strategy is to file now to lock in the lowest price of the year.
“The earlier you file, the more you save,” the TurboTax team said. For those who want a balance between self-control and professional support, TurboTax Expert Assist (Live) offers maximum flexibility. You complete the forms yourself but have direct access to a tax expert whenever you need help. The plan starts at just $36 and currently tops out at $150 if you want to fully hand the work over to a professional.
The 10% discount also applies to TurboTax Live Assisted. Remember—the earlier you sign up, the lower the price.
Refer a Friend, Earn Rewards of Up to $500
TurboTax’s referral offer gives an appealing incentive for those who want to share with friends. Each time a new friend uses your referral link, they get 20% off TurboTax federal products. In return, you receive a $25 gift card per friend—and can collect up to $500 in gift cards (essentially, an extra “refund” in the form of rewards).
New friends can use the 20% referral code for federal tax return preparation and filing through TurboTax Online or TurboTax Live through Oct. 31. Emails containing the gift card or a charitable donation option are sent within 45 days after your friend’s purchase. Restrictions apply to TurboTax Free Edition, professional review products, state returns, and other add-ons.
Save 20% for Business Owners
Small-business owners get special attention. If you file a business tax return through TurboTax, you qualify for 20% off one 2025 personal federal tax return. This service is suited for those with S-corp and partnership structures, and TurboTax will match you with a small-business tax expert who understands your industry—helping maximize tax deductions.
In addition, small-business owners can also get 10% off Business Expert Full Service and Expert Assist. This offer is specific to TurboTax federal products (excluding state products). The extra savings comes on top of the early-season discount already in effect.
Free Option for Simple Taxes
Don’t miss it: about 37% of taxpayers qualify for TurboTax Free Edition at no cost at all. The service is designed for simple Form 1040 returns—without additional schedules except for Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, student loan interest, and Schedule 1-A.
TurboTax Free Edition is truly free: $0 for federal taxes and $0 for state taxes. The easiest experience is uploading your W-2—just import, upload, or snap a photo of the W-2 document, and TurboTax automatically fills in your information. Save time and avoid potential errors with this autofill feature.
Military members also receive special recognition. They can file their own taxes and complete free federal and state tax returns (with no additional schedules, except EITC, CTC, student loan interest, and Schedule 1-A).
Refund Guarantee and Other Free Tools
TurboTax guarantees 100% accurate results or your money back. More than that: the “Maximum Refund Guarantee” ensures that if you get a larger refund or owe less tax using another tax-preparation method, TurboTax will refund the applicable federal and/or state purchase price.
The platform also offers AI-Powered Intuit Assist to answer tax questions quickly. There is also a Tax Refund Calculator to help estimate your 2026 refund by answering questions about your life and income. The Tax Bracket Calculator lets you estimate your 2025 taxable income just by entering your filing status and taxable income.
Full Service for Complicated Taxes
If your taxes are complicated or you simply want extra peace of mind this year, TurboTax Expert Full Service is the premium choice. Local tax professionals will handle everything for you, tailored to your unique tax situation. Prices start at $129 for W-2 and 1040 forms (state filing is separate), and you can connect online from home or at a nearby TurboTax Expert office location.
TurboTax service codes are unique codes usually issued by customer support for specific situations. You must enter the code in the “I have a service code” field before payment. These codes are for one-time use only and are intended for technical or billing issues during the tax-filing process.
When to File for the Best Price
Don’t wait—the lowest prices of the season are only available for early filers. The 10% discount applies to all federal filings before Tax Day (April 15). The 20% referral code also delivers significant savings if you have friends or family who need to file.
These limited-time offers run throughout tax season 2026. Whether you choose to file on your own or work with a professional tax expert, TurboTax provides solutions that fit your needs and budget. Visit the TurboTax site for the latest limited offers and make sure you get the best price before tax season reaches its peak.
