Summary
TurboTax collects your data across its products and stores most of it in one Intuit Account — though your tax preparation data is kept separate. It uses cookies to show you relevant ads and may share limited information with advertising partners, but you can opt out of that. You can download, update, or delete your data directly from your account at any time.
Analysis
This Privacy Statement establishes how TurboTax collects, consolidates, uses, and shares user data across its offerings within a single Intuit Account, with tax preparation data explicitly excluded from that consolidation. TurboTax uses cookies and trackers that may share limited personal information with third-party advertising partners and deploys interest-based advertising cookies, while offering users an opt-out mechanism for the advertising-related tracking. Users retain direct self-service rights to download, update, and delete their data from their Intuit Account without contacting support. Essential cookies are non-refusable without impairing site functionality, and TurboTax's terms, pricing, features, and service options are subject to change without notice.
What this means for you
Most data you generate across TurboTax's offerings is consolidated into your single Intuit Account and used to surface financial insights and expert recommendations, but your tax preparation data is not included in that consolidation. Essential cookies cannot be declined without impairing how the site works. Cookies and trackers may share limited personal information with third-party advertising partners for interest-based advertising — you can opt out of that sharing directly through TurboTax's provided opt-out mechanism. You can also download, update, or delete your data at any time directly from your Intuit Account without contacting support.

What changed
TurboTax updated its cookie and tracking technology disclosure on May 29, 2026, restructuring how it describes advertising practices. The previous version explained that TurboTax and advertising partners use cookies to deliver relevant ads, mentioned that information like IP addresses and device identifiers may be shared with partners, and provided an explicit opt-out mechanism by toggling preferences and clicking 'Save My Choices'. The updated version removes the specific mention of IP address and device identifier sharing with advertising partners, removes the explicit opt-out toggle mechanism, and replaces detailed explanatory language with a more generic description that cookies help prevent ad repetition and select interest-based ads. The practical effect is that users no longer have a documented opt-out procedure within the privacy statement itself.
Why this matters
The updated privacy statement no longer describes a specific opt-out procedure for advertising cookies that was previously available. The prior version stated users could 'opt out of having your personal information used or disclosed for these purposes by sliding the toggle to No and clicking Save My Choices', but this mechanism and accompanying language are no longer present in the updated disclosure. The updated terms also no longer explicitly state that IP addresses and device identifiers may be shared with advertising partners, removing prior transparency about what data types are disclosed. You should review TurboTax's main Privacy Policy to determine if opt-out mechanisms exist elsewhere or what the current data-sharing practices are.

What changed
TurboTax updated its privacy policy on May 23, 2026 to add detailed disclosure of its cookie and tracking technology practices. The updated language now explicitly describes how the company uses cookies, pixels, and tags to deliver advertising both on and off its sites, and states that it may disclose certain information such as IP addresses and device identifiers to advertising partners. Users can now decline third-party advertising cookies through a 'Customize Settings' option, though essential website cookies cannot be refused without impacting site functionality.
Why this matters
The updated terms now explicitly state that TurboTax and its advertising partners use cookies and tracking technologies to deliver targeted advertising on and off TurboTax sites. The policy discloses that IP addresses and device identifiers may be shared with advertising partners to show you more relevant ads, and states these practices may be considered 'targeted advertising' or 'sharing' of personal information under applicable law. You can decline third-party advertising cookies by going to 'Customize Settings,' though essential website cookies required for site functionality cannot be refused.
