Wait...active Military?
Enlisted only, and Online software only...and must have a military W-2 for 2020...and many screw up getting the free filing by not properly indicating their situation.
1) In the MyInfo section where you edit your name, you must indicate that you were in-service during 2020, and your rank, as part of the series of questions they ask there when you edit your own information.
2) IF that is complete, then you need to edit your W-2, and as you Continue a couple page AFTER the main form, there is page with a long series of checkboxes....in the middle of that set of checkboxes is one which must be checked indicating it is a W-2 for "Active military duty"....but that checkbox doesn't show unless #1 is set first.
That is what distinguishes you as being eligible for free filing with what would normally be a paid version of TTX. (and be careful not to set yourself up for any of the LIVE options )
