If you want an actual person to either assist you with the tax return or to create, complete and file your tax return for you, you will have to pay the TurboTax account fees for those services.

The TurboTax online editions of Free, Deluxe or Premium are free for active duty enlisted personnel who complete and file their tax returns without Live Assistance.

If you have questions concerning your tax return or the TurboTax program there is no charge to use this forum where TurboTax Tax Experts and qualified volunteers can assist you.
