Anyone working on deductions it will pop up with a charge to itemize deductions on the free version. DO NOT SELECT this or you will never be able to go back to the free version. You will not get more by itemizing being the standard deduction unless the number shown is greater than what is shown in standard.
You will then have to pay for both the federal and the state.
The only way to resolve is to use another tax filing service that offers free filing.
- Which is what I am having to do after 20 years of using turbo tax.
Hope this helps someone from making this costly mistake.
