Hello everyone,
I am attempting to complete a free filing of my 2019 taxes. During the deductions setting, it turned out that I had contributed to a retirement fund during certain months, so I qualify for the Retirement Savings Contribution Credit deduction. This deduction however is only available for TurboTax Deluxe owners, which in my state would cost me $110. The deduction is only $93, so I would be fine with skipping the deduction.
For some unknown reason, I cannot delete this deduction. There is a post about this in these forums linked here: https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/retirement/discussion/i-don-t-want-to-file-schedule-3-nonrefundabl...
Their solution is to claim that you were a full time student to "get around this." I was not a full time student in 2019, so I do not want to put this down. This also decreases my refund by around 200$. I am not trying to "get around" anything by putting incorrect information on my taxes. Why does TurboTax do this seemingly obviously dishonest business practice of making you pay for a deduction? If I would have known I would need to pay for a deluxe edition, I would not have gone and put in that information for the deduction. All I was doing was going through the steps one by one, answering everything 100% correctly.
All I would like to do is delete the Retirement Savings Contribution Credit Deduction without falsely claiming that I was a full time student. Can anyone help me please?
