Retirement tax questions

When I tried to file for my self, it says retirement credit is not included in free edition. So even if intuit lists form 8880 is supported in list, it has to be supported in real when we do taxes. I believe its still not working


The 06/04/2019 date on the post that you reference is VERY misleading.  That is the date that OLD posts from the old AXE (Answer exchange) form was migrated to this forum.  The actual date of that post could be years old.  That post refers to what was supported long before the IRS revised the 1040 forms in 2018 to eliminate the 1040EZ and 1040A.

 

For 2019, the 8880 form requires the new Schedule 3 that the Free Edition does not support.  The Free Edition only supports the basis 1040 form without any added Schedules.

 

The Free edition only supports simple tax returns that do not require any additional schedules. More complex tax returns will require Deluxe or higher depending on the forms that are needed.

You might be able to use the Free File (formally called Freedom Edition) for incomes under $36,000 and supports all states and most forms.

The Free File is part of the IRS Free File alliance and is totally separate from TurboTax website.

You can also access the Free File tax alliance programs via the IRS website.
