The Free edition is for very simple tax returns.  You can start for free; however, if the software requires more advanced features, there will be an additional charge.   Situations covered (assuming no added tax complexity): W-2 income Interest or dividends (1099-INT/1099-DIV) that don’t require filing a Schedule B IRS standard deduction Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) Child Tax Credit (CTC) Student loan interest deduction Situations not covered: Itemized deductions claimed on Schedule A Unemployment income reported on a 1099-G Business or 1099-NEC income Stock sales (including crypto investments) Rental property income Credits, deductions and income reported on other forms or schedules Select [Start for Free] on the TurboTax Website.

The IRS's system is not state of the art.  So it often requires time to update before it can use information that has been uploaded into it.  You might want to wait 24 hours and try again.   @kach0169 

I also traditionally have to pay Estimated taxes every year.  This year Turbo Tax did NOT provide my CA State estimated payments, only Federal.  I do not see anywhere where I can find / generate my Estimated CA state payments following the posted instructions.  Please advise how to navigate to generate so I do not have to pay penalties. 

If you are using TurboTax Online, go to add a state. Look for the Live Help option in this section. If in the software, there is an option in the upper right hand corner of the program that will help you select Live Tax Advice.

Keep in mind that you are paying two (technically three) different types of taxes here being self-employed: The $32,000 in taxable income taxed at approximately 12% is federal income tax While the facts don't provide sufficient detail on exactly what your SE taxable income is, this tax is for two types of tax: Social Security tax is 12.4% Medicare tax is 2.9% Combined 15.3% SE tax

Same issue here. Nowhere on the website during checkout did it say TurboTax Live nor did it mention this when starting my file. I only noticed when I received the invoice. Sent an email to customer service for a partial refund and was denied. I had a feeling I should of used another service this year! Never again
