    <description>&lt;P&gt;HOW CAN I DOWNGRADE TO A LOWER VERSION&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/change-service-level/downgrade-lower-priced-version-turbotax-online/L2IDaMvkt_US_en_US?uid=m6ilzady" target="_blank"&gt;https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/change-service-level/downgrade-lower-priced-version-turbotax-online/L2IDaMvkt_US_en_US?uid=m6ilzady&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;If you started in the Free Edition and entered&lt;SPAN&gt; any &lt;/SPAN&gt;data that required any extra forms or schedules, you have to upgrade to a paid version and if you are watching the screens carefully you are alerted to the upgrade.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;TurboTax Online: Important Details about Filing Simple Form 1040 Returns&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;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.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Examples&lt;/STRONG&gt; of situations included in a simple Form 1040 return (assuming no added tax complexity):&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;W-2 income&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Interest, dividends or original issue discounts (1099-INT/1099-DIV/1099-OID) that don’t require filing a Schedule B&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;IRS standard deduction&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Child Tax Credit (CTC)&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Student loan interest deduction&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Taxable qualified retirement plan distributions&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Examples of situations &lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;I&gt;not&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt; included in a simple Form 1040 return:&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Itemized deductions claimed on Schedule A, like charitable contributions, medical expenses, mortgage interest and state and local tax deductions&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Unemployment income reported on a 1099-G&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Business or 1099-NEC income (often reported by those who are self-employed, gig workers or freelancers)&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Stock sales (including crypto investments)&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Income from rental property or property sales&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Credits, deductions and income reported on other forms or schedules&amp;nbsp;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;1095A for marketplace health insurance&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;How can I see my TurboTax&lt;SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;fees?&lt;SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If your TurboTax fees are higher than expected, you can reduce them by removing add-ons &lt;SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;(BEFORE you e-file) :&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Or—-Use this IRS site for other ways to file for free.&lt;SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;There are 8&lt;SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;free software versions available from the IRS Free File site&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;There is no reason you need to pay $300 using TurboTax unless you are completing a Partnership or a Corporation return using online support, or you are using the Premium edition with multiple state tax returns being filed.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;See this TurboTax support FAQ for reviewing your TurboTax fees -&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-account-billing/review-fees-turbotax-online/L1XnIzgzg_US_en_US?uid=m8nignez" target="_blank"&gt;https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-account-billing/review-fees-turbotax-online/L1XnIzgzg_US_en_US?uid=m8nignez&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;See this TurboTax support FAQ for removing options on your account -&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;A href="https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-account-billing/reduce-fees/L3Kp3yEYs_US_en_US?uid=m7hw458a" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-account-billing/reduce-fees/L3Kp3...&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;If you have not paid for the online edition you are using, have not filed your tax return or registered the Free edition, then you can clear your return and start over with a lower priced edition. Click on&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Tax Tools&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;on the left side of the program screen while working on the 2024 online tax return. Click on&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Clear &amp;amp; Start Over&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
