Are there cheaper options?

[hannah2]

I'm a college student.  I made less than the standard deduction in income, but got tips.  Because I have tips, Turbo Tax wants me to upgrade to "Deluxe" for $55.  And now, filing my state return is going to cost almost $40, for a grand total of almost $100.  I've got one W-2 with tip income, and interest from a single bank.  Surely there's a cheaper way to file than paying out $100.

You can see if you qualify for the TurboTax "Freedom Edition" at the following website:
