What is the income-line for the TurboTax free filing for 2025?

What is the income-line for the TurboTax free filing for 2025?

The retirement income is only around $10000 this year. But it shows $135 price finally before I filing.

What terms do I need to adjust? Please help.

If you have a simple Form 1040 return only (no forms or schedules except as needed to claim the Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit or student loan interest), you can file for free yourself with TurboTax Free Edition, or you can file with TurboTax Live Assisted Basic at the listed price. Roughly 37% of taxpayers are eligible.

 

Examples of situations included in a simple Form 1040 return (assuming no added tax complexity):

  • W-2 income
  • Interest, dividends or original issue discounts (1099-INT/1099-DIV/1099-OID) that don’t require filing a Schedule B
  • IRS standard deduction
  • Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)
  • Child Tax Credit (CTC)
  • Student loan interest deduction
  • Taxable qualified retirement plan distributions

Examples of situations not included in a simple Form 1040 return:

  • Itemized deductions claimed on Schedule A, like charitable contributions, medical expenses, mortgage interest and state and local tax deductions
  • Unemployment income reported on a 1099-G
  • Business or 1099-NEC income (often reported by those who are self-employed, gig workers or freelancers)
  • Stock sales (including crypto investments)
  • Income from rental property or property sales
  • Credits, deductions and income reported on other forms or schedules

@DavidD66 Thank you.

Is there an income-line (like AGI $48,000 or $76,000) for this year?

Usually what is the price for the NY state e-filing?

@MythSaraLee There are no e-file fees for a New York state tax return, using the TurboTax online editions or the desktop editions.

The state software software program charges are not income based they are a flat fee based on whether your are using the online or desktop editions.

@DoninGA Thank you.

I think I may be in a wrong app. It charges around $120 for e-filing but I could not find the right place I was using.
