I paid $40 for federal and $40 for state in February. My son tried to file his and it's now $60 for federal and $50 for state. We always pay for filing and have direct deposit of refunds. Online support doesn't work. He is unable to select a cheaper version. I have used turbo tax for over 15 yrs and this will be the last year.
The discount prices ended after 02/28/2021.
If he is eligible he can use the TurboTax Free File Program - https://freefile.intuit.com/
If you are eligible you can use the IRS Free File Program delivered by TurboTax which is free to file both a federal and state tax return. The IRS Free File Program delivered by TurboTax edition is a full featured personal tax program and on a separate website from the TurboTax online editions.
To qualify for free 2020 federal and state tax returns with the IRS Free File Program delivered by TurboTax, you'll need to meet at least one of these requirements:
- A maximum 2020 adjusted gross income (AGI) of $39,000; or
