Can I use a simpler tax form this year.?

You can file your federal 1040EZ/1040A if you:

  • Made less than $100,000
  • Don't own a home or rental property
  • Didn't sell investments
  • Don't own a business or have 1099-MISC income
  • Don't have any major medical expenses

To qualify for free 2017 federal and state tax returns in Freedom Edition, you'll need to meet one of these requirements:

  • Your 2017 Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) is $33,000 or less
  • You qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)
  • In 2017, you served as active duty military (including Reservists and National Guard) with a maximum AGI of $66,000, and you have a military-issued W-2

Also – don't confuse Freedom Edition with Free Edition at TurboTax.com. These similarly-named products are completely different.
