I added info about a situation that resulted in a small tax break (yay!) come to find out that's "not covered" under the free version, and I would have to pay $60 to upgrade AND another $40 processing fee (possibly just to take it out of my refund, I wasn't sure when that $40 popped up). All I want to do is backtrack and delete that tax credit. I go to edit/delete it, and when it asks me the initial question "do you have info to add here" I say no, but it will not delete
The retirement contribution. I even cleared my info to start over, redid them without adding that info, and it still is saying I HAVE to upgrade for $60 because free version doesn’t cover “schedule 3”
If you are eligible for the Retirement Savings Credit (Savers Credit) but DO NOT want to claim it, you can elect to do so by indicating that you are a "full-time student" (even though you are not). Indicating that you are a full-time student does not change your return in any way, except that it makes you ineligible for the Savers Credit.
To elect out of claiming the Savers Credit, even though you qualify to claim it, please follow these instructions:

Won’t you get in trouble if you lie and say yes if the answer is no to the questions?

No. It is a workaround for TurboTax and nothing goes on the tax return.
