Question

I qualify for free filing with NYS, but am still being asked to pay $44.99 with Turbo Tax even when I am directed through the link from the NYS tax site. Why?

You have to meet certain criteria in order to file free.  See  Free File TurboTax .

You qualify to use this software provider at no cost if:

  • your federal Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) was $34,000 or less; or
  • your federal AGI was $66,000 or less and you served as Active Duty Military (including Reservists and National Guard); or
  • you qualify for the earned income tax credit (EITC).
