This program is a joke! They want me to pay an additional $40 for the state and federal to file, because I am getting $17 back from the feds for contributing to my retirement. So pay $80 to get $17! Makes sense right, I will file my own taxes and I will make sure that everyone I know gets an earful about how stupid Turbo Tax really is.
Or is it this? Is it Form 8880 for the Retirement Savings Contribution Credit?
Have you already done the upgrade to Deluxe? I'm not a tax expert, but I have seen in the forum that users have tried to remove the Form 8880 to avoid having to pay for an upgrade. There might be a way to remove that Savers Credit (Form 8880) by downgrading to Free Edition (using "Clear and Start Over.") And then once you are back in Free Edition again, it will likely put the Form 8880, but you may be able to remove it before accepting any upgrade by this method:

But it might still put it back after that, too.
I think @ SteamTrain may be familiar with removing that credit, and there may be a way to remove it in the interview, too. I'll see if he can add to this thread when he's next in the forum.
In the meantime, I also gave you some info above on the other free product TurboTax IRS Free File Program, if you qualify, which would be an alternative free product that can handle all forms, including the Savers Credit.
