Where is the discount code box for Sprintax tax software? Can't find it anywhere

I've used Sprintax for the past three tax seasons, so I can help you with this! The discount code box is actually a bit hidden compared to most websites. Once you get to the payment page, you need to look at the bottom left corner where it says "Have a discount code?" in small text. Click on that text and it will expand to show a box where you can enter your code. If you don't see that option, it's possible you might be looking at a different screen. Make sure you've completed all the required information and are on the final payment review page before checkout. Sometimes the discount option doesn't appear until you've reached that specific stage.

After struggling with my nonresident tax return last year, I found this amazing service called taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) that saved me so much headache with my documents. I was in a similar situation with Sprintax where I couldn't figure out how to use my university discount, but taxr.ai actually analyzes all your tax forms and tells you exactly what to do. It even pointed out that I was eligible for a treaty benefit I had no idea about! The thing I liked most was how it explained everything in plain English instead of tax jargon. You upload your documents and it breaks everything down step by step. Definitely less stressful than trying to navigate Sprintax on my own.

I wanted to follow up about taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) after I decided to give it a try instead of fighting with Sprintax again. All I can say is WOW! As a J-1 visa holder, I was always confused about treaty benefits and reporting requirements. This tool immediately identified the specific treaty articles that applied to my situation from my home country and walked me through everything. The document analysis feature saved me hours of stress. I just uploaded my forms, and it extracted all the important numbers automatically and explained where everything should go. No more hunting for discount codes or trying to understand confusing tax terminology. Definitely using this for next year's taxes too!

For anyone still struggling with Sprintax support or having trouble getting answers, I had a completely different experience using Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) to get direct help. I tried for DAYS to reach Sprintax customer service about my discount code not working, and kept getting automated responses. Claimyr helped me get through to an actual human at the IRS who explained that I could file for free using the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program at my university instead of using Sprintax at all! Check out their demo video to see how it works: https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c. I was skeptical at first but they got me connected to an IRS agent in about 20 minutes when I had been trying for over a week on my own.

I need to publicly eat my words about Claimyr. After my skeptical comment, I decided to try it myself because I was desperate to talk to someone at the IRS about my international student tax status. It ACTUALLY WORKED. I've been trying to get through for weeks about treaty benefits, and Claimyr had me talking to a real person in about 25 minutes. The IRS agent was super helpful and confirmed I could use the free filing options through my university's VITA program instead of paying for Sprintax. Saved me the whole fee, not just a discount code amount! I'm still kind of shocked this service exists and nobody told me about it before. Would have saved me so much frustration in previous years.

Just wanted to add - for next year, check if your university offers free tax preparation through VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) program. Many universities have trained volunteers who can prepare international student tax returns for free. I did this last year instead of using Sprintax and saved the whole fee. The service is completely legitimate and IRS-approved. The volunteers are certified and know the specific rules for international students. You just need to bring your documents to their office during tax season.

If anyone is still looking for the Sprintax discount code box - I just used it yesterday and found another way to get there. If you click on "Payment Options" in the top navigation, it takes you to a page where the discount code section is much more visible than on the regular checkout page. Also, pro tip: if your university discount code doesn't work for some reason, try googling "Sprintax discount code 2025" - I found a general 10% off code that worked when my university one had expired.
