You clearly didn't read my question. Just because I"m self-employed doesn't mean I should have to pay for filing, and turbotax is only letting you get the F982 if you downgrade to the deluxe version online - which I don't need - it's not available on the self-employed version, though that's the highest version available. WHY can't I get the 982 with the self-employed version and WHY and I being charged for it when my AGI is well under $65k
If you are eligible you can use the TurboTax Free File Program which is free to file both a federal and state tax return. The Free File Program edition is a full featured personal tax program and on a separate website from the TurboTax online editions.
To qualify for free 2019 federal and state tax returns with the Free File Program, you'll need to meet at least one of these requirements:
- A maximum 2019 adjusted gross income (AGI) of $36,000; or
- You qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC); or
- You served as active duty military (including Reservists and National Guard) with a maximum 2019 AGI of $69,000 (you'll also need a military-issued W-2).
