My husband and I should get a tax break because we are over 65 by the end of 2019. Where is it?

This was also supposed to be free.  Nothing was mentioned about $60!!!  Then you put on the bottom if I pay now it definitaly will cost nothing.  Just my filing fee that I owe.
I want honesty here.  I don't owe you $60.  I need to go.  Call me if you decide to efile my tax form without paying you $60 that was never mentioned at the beginning.

Ok ... so you know where you got confused ... you may have started in the FREE version and got upgraded along the way to Deluxe ( the free version has limitations and you may have had to upgrade to properly complete the return ... the upgrade was explained along with the cost ... there are no surprises or ambushes )  OR   you started in the Deluxe version and misunderstood that is was FREE TO START but there was a fee to finish... look a the screen here :  

NOW ... if your AGI is $69K or less than you should use one of the IRS FREE FILE options instead ... just abandon this account and start again in one of the FREE FILE programs :  https://www.irs.gov/filing/free-file-do-your-federal-taxes-for-free

Look at your form 1040 line 8b if you are not sure of your AGI amount ... 

You can peek at only  the Federal form 1040 and the summary of the state info by going here:

1) lower- Left side of the screen...click to the left side of the "Tax Tools" text selection.
2)  then select "Tools"
3) then select "View Tax Summary" from the pop-up
4) then back to the left-side and "Preview 1040"

Then hit the "Back" on the left side to get back to your tax entries.

TurboTax is not going to call you or change your cost.

go to www.irs.gov to find truly free federal tax filing.

The "tax break" you get for being 65 or older is a higher amount for you standard deduction.

Your standard deduction lowers your taxable income.  It is not a refund.

Single $12,200   (+ $1650 65 or older)

Married Filing Separate  $12,200   (+ $1300 if 65 or older)

Married Filing Jointly $24,400   (+ $1300 for each spouse 65 or older)

Head of Household $18,350  (+ $1650 for 65 or older)

Look on line 9 of your 2019 Form 1040 to see your itemized/standard deduction amount
