My company recommends intuit and gives the option to have our W2s auto fowarded to intuit..i used the online service last year for 2018 tax year for both state and federal..it cost about 24.95 in tot and that was with an upgrade to a deluxe package..this year i entered my information and the system is saying even though i cannot itemize..i HAVE to upgrade to a deluxe version at a cosy of $60.00 because i have student loan interest , i bypassed the option so i could see what my state return would be and intuit is saying that the state return will be an additional $50.00!!!! This is a complete and total misrepresentation of what the expected fees and filing costs were purported to be and i will file with ANY other tax efile service as well as report this to my organization, (over 25,000 employees) $110.00 for a simple federal and state tax return for a single person with no other special deductions or dependents is an exorbitant charge, and as another user commented, i can hire an accountant cheaper, use my states free file or submit a paper return...totally ridiculous!! Turbo tax, Intuit, we werent born yesterday!!!

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).
