I did my son's taxes and it did not require me to upgrade. I am now doing my daughter's which are identical and it will not let me finish without upgrading. How and why?

[Vanessa]

Did one have obamacare?

[Lisa995]

or some entry in Box 12 of their W2?

[model777]

No.

[Vanessa]

Do they both JUST have W2's?

[model777]

No W-2's.  They are minors with college accounts. That's all.

[Lisa995]

what type of tax reporting forms did you enter for each of them?

[model777]

1099-DIV

[Lisa995]

Did one have only dividends and the other have dividends and capital gains?

[Lisa995]

or did one have a lot more in dividends than the other?

You can use the FREEDOM edition for your daughter as long as her AGI was less than $34,000.  There is no fee regardless of the forms needed to file. https://turbotax.intuit.com/taxfreedom/

I have been trying this.  It worked for my son's return.  They keep telling me I need to upgrade for my daughter.

[Vanessa]

You may need to create a new account.  Use the link I posted.  This is the FREEDOM edition, NOT the Free Edition.  You cannot upgrade in FREEDOM.

Even though I did her taxes last year and used the Freedom Edition?  Does she then have two accounts?
