Free Edition

Currently using Turbo Tax Premium for years, why does Turbo Tax charge me if all required Forms falls under the Free Edition W2,1099R(no penalty) and 1099INT)? Why can’t they identify what forms I used and then determine the fees? Do I need to take action to get Free Edition?

If you haven't filed, registered or paid you can try to clear and start over in Free

Or if it doesn't let you clear and you haven't paid and filed you could just start a new account. Online is only good for 1 return per account. But you can use the same email address for 5 accounts.

You can start another return in TurboTax Online by:

Logging out if you are in your account
Choose what TurboTax Online product you want to use for the second return
Create your account screen
Set up a new login for the second return
Start working on the new return

Did you have anything that transferred from 2024 that’s making you use Premium?

Many Thanks. I was able to switch to Free Edition.
