But here is the challenge - TurboTax is NOTORIOUS for mis/dis-information purely for marketing to confuse the user. Every few pages they ALWAYS try to upsell. Couple of years ago, I filed standard and had to HUNT down where and how to file free. Fast forward to 2025, my daughter who makes far less than I do, filed using the simple form, both federal and state and she was charged $88!!!! WTF… I make 10 times the amount as she does and also took the standard deduction, married filed joint and was charged ZERO.
TurboTax… you owe my daughter $88!!!
