Yes, you would have to upgrade if it's for self-employment income/independent contractor or rental/royalty income, Alaska Permanent Fund dividend, etc. Regular Free Edition cannot handle those types of income due to 1099-MISC.
But there is another free TurboTax product that can handle it, if you qualify.
The other free product (TurboTax IRS Free File Program) is fully-featured and can prepare all the usual forms and schedules. It is even more powerful than most paid products if you qualify. For example, in addition to Schedules 1-3 it can prepare Schedule C, D, E, F, etc., and enter K-1. But one has to meet one of the qualifications to use. See below:
To qualify for free 2019 federal and state tax returns through the IRS Free File Program delivered by TurboTax, you just need to meet one of these requirements:
- Your 2019 household AGI is $36,000 or less; or
- You qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC); or
- In 2019, you served as active duty military (including Reservists and National Guard) with a maximum AGI of $69,000, and you have a military-issued W-2.
If you qualify for that program and want to use it, see these 2 FAQs:
