How do I get the Free Military Discount?

To get started, enter your military W-2 and verify your military rank when prompted within your chosen TurboTax Online product (Free Edition, Deluxe, Premier, Self-Employed). Your discount will automatically be applied when you file.

 

TurboTax Online (Free Edition, Deluxe, Premier, Self-Employed) is free for enlisted active duty military and reserve personnel.

 

More info:

Who is eligible for the Free Military Discount?

Are there any military discounts on TurboTax bundles like PLUS or MAX?
