TurboTax Free Edition Online

DoninGA

Level 15

The TurboTax online editions website is not a Free site. The Free online edition is only for very simple tax returns. If you enter any type of tax data that is not supported by the Free edition then you have to upgrade to the Deluxe edition or higher, which are paid editions.
If you are eligible you can use the TurboTax Free File Program which is on a separate website.

IRS Free File Program - https://apps.irs.gov/app/freeFile/

If you are eligible you can use the TurboTax Free File Program which is free to file both a federal and state tax return. The Free File Program edition is a full featured personal tax program and on a separate website from the TurboTax online editions.

To qualify for free 2018 federal and state tax returns with the Free File Program, you'll need to meet at least one of these requirements:

A maximum 2018 adjusted gross income (AGI) of $34,000; or
You qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC); or
You served as active duty military (including Reservists and National Guard) with a maximum 2018 AGI of $66,000 (you'll also need a military-issued W-2).
