Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The 1099-Misc is a problem.  She's only (most likely) gonna owe about $5 in tax, but it will probably prevent her from using the TurboTax free file.  What does "summer program" mean? That is, what did she do to get this money?  If it can be called scholarship, she does not need to file*. Was there any box 2  or box 17 withholding on the W-2. How much? 

 

*Taxes are complicated.  1099-Misc income is usually unearned income, but scholarships are earned income and have a higher filing requirement.
