You can not do American Opportunity Credit in the Free version.
TurboTax Free Edition is their free version. It’s $0 to prepare your Federal return. It’s $0 to prepare your state return. And it’s $0 to file both returns.
There is, however, a minor catch. It’s only meant for the simplest of tax situations.
If you only have:
- W-2 income
- Unemployment income
- Limited interest and dividend income reported on a 1099-INT or 1099-DIV
- Claim the standard deduction
- Earned Income Tax Credit (EIC)
- Child tax credits
