The other free product TurboTax Free File Program will start up in mid-January. It is free for both Federal and State--IF you meet just one of the qualifications. It can handle all the usual forms without the limitations of regular Free Edition. It can handle a 1099-G and your unemployment income. There are no fees at all.
