TurboTax Freedom
Edition is geared towards lower-income filers, regardless of
tax return complexity, and is only offered through the IRS Free File Alliance
(FFA) program. No upgrades are available, but state returns are free.
TurboTax Free Edition,
on the other hand, can be used by higher-income filers but only handles simple
returns (1040EZ and some 1040A returns). Upgrades and add-ons, such as TurboTax
PLUS and Audit Defense, are available.
