It depends on your tax situation as to which version of TurboTax is required for you to file your taxes.
You can file your federal (1040EZ/1040A) and state taxes for free if the following applies to you:
- Made less than $100,000
- Don't own a home or rental property
- Didn't sell investments
- Don't own a business or have 1099-MISC income
- Don't have any major medical expenses
This link will show you the forms that each program will file (scroll down and click on the Tax Forms tab): https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/free-edition.jsp
If you feel that you do not need the higher version of TurboTax, you can clear your return and start over to downgrade (as long as you haven't paid for or registered your account), instructions here: https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/4248526
