I keep seeing "TurboTax didn't change anything, the IRS did."
If the 1040 changed, it's your choice as a FinTech company to not update your software to accommodate.
And your choice is clear. TurboTax caved to their shareholders. Profits off the backs of 43 million people with student loan debt.
My deduction won't even be worth the cost.
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).
