Wrong! I was doing my daughters taxes. She didn't make a lot of money, but had college expenses. Following the instructions I added the college expenses. When I did that her tax filing was no longer free, although the expenses did not change her refund. I had to go back and remove the college expenses and it was free. I paid close attention to this since somebody had alerted me how people were being misled. I'm glad I paid attention. Now I wonder about my taxes. I used the standard deduction and had no unusual inputs but I paid. I have used Turbotax for years but will not use them again. Deceptive practices turn me off.
