Hey awardtrail readers, listen up! If you're like me, you dread tax season. But here's a little glimmer of hope: you can snag free TurboTax (both federal and state!) if you didn't use them last year to file. This offer isn't through Credit Karma this time around; there's a direct link to the deal now. Getting your taxes done without shelling out cash is always a win.

Here's the deal: To qualify, you need to start and file your taxes using either the TurboTax or Credit Karma mobile app. Also, this only covers the "Do It Yourself" version, so you're on your own if you were planning on having a TurboTax expert do it for you. Most importantly, you have to file by February 28, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET, so hop to it!

Why should you care? Well, free is free! Every dollar saved on taxes is a dollar you can put towards your next amazing adventure. While we kinda wish free tax filing was a standard thing, we'll take this deal any day. Get those taxes done early, and start dreaming about your next trip!
