I used Free version last year & had schedule C, etc. for deductions. Can't find them this year in the free version. Has this changed?

You probably used the Free File Program and not the Free online edition.

Use the TurboTax Free File program if you are eligible - https://freefile.intuit.com/
If you are eligible you can use the TurboTax Free File Program which is free to file both a federal and state tax return. The Free File Program edition is a full featured personal tax program and on a separate website from the TurboTax online editions.

To qualify for free 2019 federal and state tax returns with the Free File Program, you'll need to meet at least one of these requirements:

A maximum 2019 adjusted gross income (AGI) of $36,000; or
You qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC); or
You served as active duty military (including Reservists and National Guard) with a maximum 2019 AGI of $69,000 (you'll also need a military-issued W-2).

Thanks, DoninGA!

I thought that's what I had done. I signed in via your link, but it took me back to the one I was working with. Does that mean I should delete & start over?
