There are two ways to enter a promo code on your account.
- Within the E-file section of your return, you will be prompted to enter a promo code for your Products & Services if you are paying with a credit or debit card. You will also be able to select that you have a promo code on the Total Charges Due summary screen if you get to that point and still haven’t entered it.
- If you need to print and mail your return for any reason, you will pay within the Summary/Print section of your return instead of E-file. Once there, you will be prompted to enter a promo code when paying with a credit or debit card.
Where can I find a promo code?
Promo codes are generally distributed via email by our marketing department leading up to and during the tax season. Once you create a TaxSlayer account, be sure you’re receiving our emails so you can stay in the loop!
Our support staff does not have access to promo codes. If you haven't received a code or missed the expiration date, check out current TaxSlayer promo codes on TaxSlayer.com to find an existing offer.
What if the promo code I entered shows as "invalid" or does not work?
If the promo code you enter does not appear to be working, verify that you have entered it just as it was listed and refer to the promotion’s disclaimer to confirm the expiration and applicable products and services.
However, if you have confirmed everything is correct, please contact our support staff, providing the specific promo code information, such as the name of the promo code and how you are attempting to enter it into your account.
It's important to note that TaxSlayer cannot guarantee that promo codes found on third-party sites can be applied and strongly recommend engaging with our emails to take advantage of discounts.
What if I used the IRS Free File Alliance program?
TaxSlayer participates in the IRS Free File Alliance program, which is available to individuals who meet certain criteria. Accounts created using the Free File program do not qualify to add a promo code as the service is free.
If you start filing and no longer qualify for the program, you can continue with TaxSlayer Classic and apply a promo code as instructed if you have one.
Can I change the promo code on my account?
If you already have a promo code in your account but want to swap it out for another, select “Have a different promo code?” on the summary screen before you pay. Please note that you can only use one promo code, as discounts cannot be combined.
