Free or Premium for Investments

[ekerns3344]

Hello. I have an investments account where I "sold" 22 cents of an ETF. That is the only stock sale I did in 2025. I am trying to file using the Free edition of Turbotax but it is telling me I need to upgrade to premium for $129 to finish filing, all over 22 cents! Does this seem correct and I just need to bite the bullet and pay for premium, accepting that I made a mistake?

The IRS uses whole dollars for tax forms. Your 22 cents rounds to zero, and thus should not be entered or reported. Remove the 1099-B, and if you had no other complicated forms on your return, you should be able to use the free version.

Thank you so much! It finally worked after doing that.
