How do I remove a tax credit?

I'm getting some $19 credit that Turbo Tax says I need a $49 upgrade to receive. So I want to remove the credit. But guess what...? They're not making it easy. SHOCKER. Can anyone help me beat their scam?

How do I remove a tax credit?

My best guess----is it the retirement saver credit?    If so, you can say in MY INFO that you were a student in 2024 and it will disqualify you for that credit so that you can stay in the Free Edition.

 

Or....

 

Use this IRS site for other ways to file for free.  There are 8  free software versions available from the IRS Free File site

 

https://apps.irs.gov/app/freeFile/

 

Or—if you live in certain states you may be eligible to use the new IRS Direct File

 

 

In Filing Season 2025, Direct File will be available in Alaska, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
