All I have is a W-2 why can't I file for free?

TurboTax Free Edition is for filers that use a simple 1040 with no additional schedules and is free as long as you don't select any add-ons or upgrades. You can 
Review your fees to see exactly what you have been charged for. 
Please see the TurboTax FAQ Why I am I being charged for TurboTax Free Edition? for more information.

In addition to some restriction for filing form Like "1040 simple filing" ONLY low income filers qualify for free filing.
