Can we file simple tax return if we own a house.

[KatrinaB]

Yes, you can file a simple return and claim the standard deduction if you choose not to claim your real estate tax and mortgage interest. However, the only form available this year is Form 1040. The 1040A and 1040EZ are no longer used. There are also six new schedules that may need to be filed depending on your income and deductions. 

You can use TurboTax Free edition to file if you are not entering your home expenses. However, if you choose to claim these expense you will be required to use TurboTax Deluxe.
