Intuit’s tax filing software on CJ, with a short referral window and a heavily policed brand.
About the TurboTax affiliate program
TurboTax runs on CJ Affiliate as advertiser 1905878. The current default terms group is TY25 TurboTax Online 15% with Item Lists, meaning the payout is driven by per-product item lists rather than a single headline rate; every action shows a 0.00% base commission in the terms, with a $5 per order situational adjustment on the in-app free promotion. The referral period is short: 7 days on TurboTax Online web, iOS and Android conversions, 30 days on the Business Tax product purchase, and 1 day on in-store appointments, app installs and auth actions, all capped at 5 occurrences. Applications are reviewed manually. The policies are unusually strict — you cannot bid on Intuit or competitor trademarks, on IRS or government terms, or on refund advance terms; TurboTax may appear in a URL path but not a subdomain or domain; browser extensions are prohibited; and any use of "free" in ad copy must carry Intuit’s exact qualifying statement. Audit defense, e-file, bank products, military and CD products are non-commissionable.
