I will not be filing with TurboTax in 2022 due to being unknowingly upgraded to Deluxe without permission. I don't seem to be the only one being mislead by advertised prices/ charged extra when it comes time to pay for services. Each year I am having to pay TT more and more; I might as well give my earned money to an actual CPA.
Did you start out in Free Edition, which is only for very simple returns and had to upgrade to Deluxe?
Certain forms are not available in Free Edition and require an upgrade to Deluxe or higher, such as one of Schedules 1-3, itemized deductions, education credits, student loan interest, retirement savers credit, Child and Dependent Care credit, HSA, etc.
If so, you might be able to switch to the other free product--TurboTax IRS Free File Program--that we can tell you about. It's fully-featured, prepares all the usual forms and schedules, and is free for both Federal and state returns--if you meet one of the qualifications to use it. We can tell you more if you haven't already paid.
