where in turbo tax deluxe do I enter the American opportunity info to get money back ?

you can do this in turbo tax simple free version as well?

what you you do in free version

when do you need to upgrade to deluxe version.

I assume any interest on an investment account bumps you up to turbo tax deluxe

but how about interest from simple money market account?

To enter education expenses to get the American Opportunity Credit

Log into Turbotax

On the menu bar on the left that shows.
1. My Info
2. Federal
3. State
4. Review
5. File
Select Tax Tools
On the drop-down select Tools
There will be 4 green boxes
Select Tax Topics
Type Education Expenses
Start the Interview

You can not do American Opportunity Credit in the Free version.

TurboTax Free Edition is their free version. It’s $0 to prepare your Federal return. It’s $0 to prepare your state return. And it’s $0 to file both returns.

There is, however, a minor catch. It’s only meant for the simplest of tax situations.

If you only have:

W-2 income
Unemployment income
Limited interest and dividend income reported on a 1099-INT or 1099-DIV
Claim the standard deduction
Earned Income Tax Credit (EIC)
Child tax credits
