As said above, if your income is under $33,000 then the Free File Edition is indeed free for the student loan and almost all else. Most taxpayer with income more than $33K won't be able to use the Free Edition anyway. But, yes, TurboTax decides just how much to give away for free. TurboTax is a for profit company. Loosing nonpaying "customers" is not much of a loss.
You might be able to use the Freedom Edition (Free File) for incomes under $33,000 and supports all states and most forms.
The Freedom Edition is part of the IRS Free File alliance and is totally separate from TurboTax website.
