How do I get this free 18 month QuickBooks Self-Employed Trial? The steps listed all work until Step 7. There is only this at that page: "We'll save a PDF copy..."

These steps all work UNTIL Step 7. There is no promised link to Quickbooks Self-Employed 18 month trial. I completed my tax return with TurboTax and this trial was promised at the end.

Was anyone eventually successful with the 18 month free offer? Once I signed up, it switched to a 30 day trial!?

Getting started

I was eventually able to get the free 18 month trial. It took much time - and a number of phone conversations. Also I did post on their Facebook page to get their attention.  It was frustrating for sure. Good luck.
