How Can I Get a Service Code for TurboTax?

I recently completed preparing my taxes with TurboTax, and saw an option to enter a "service code" at checkout. Hmmm... can I find a service code online and use it to get a discount?

After doing some research and contacting TurboTax customer support, I learned that the answer to that question is "yes and no." Yes, you can get a discount from a service code, but "no," you probably can't find one. That's because service codes are issued directly from customer support for specific orders and are non-transferrable.

How Can I Get a Service Code?

The only way to get a TurboTax service code is directly from one of their custom support representatives. For example, if you called to complain about something, they might issue you a service code for a discount on your order.

According to Mighty Taxes, service codes expire on October 15th of the year they were issued.

The good news is that you don't need a service code to get a discount. In fact, TurboTax advertises a discount every tax season that is promoted through a number of finance blogs and websites. The discount should be applied just by clicking on the promotional banner.

Service Code Not Working

The most common reason for a coupon or service code to not work is due to site security at turbotax.intuit.com. The coupons are applied through cookies, so if you are already logged in to their site and then click a promotional banner it may not apply. To fix this issue try logging out of TurboTax, clicking the coupon, then logging back in!
