I cannot file for free and I it is because my income is larger than 39K. I understand, but how to proceed?

I just checked and I am not eligible for any of the free files Editions. What are the not free editions of trubotax that can be used?

@aabuseta If your income is too high you cannot use the free filing sites.

WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY? I WANT THE FREE EDITION

The information that you can enter in Free Edition is pretty limited now. Thanks to the new tax laws that began for 2018 returns, there are no more simple Form 1040EZ or 1040A's. Everything goes on a Form 1040 that has three extra "schedules" with it, and if you need any of those schedules, you are not able to use the Free Edition. Using the standard deduction instead of itemizing does NOT mean you will not need any of those schedules.

The tax forms for 2019 include a Form 1040 and three possible extra “Schedules”:
