You probably have forms or schedules not included in the Free version as part of your tax return. You must have a Simple form 1040 return only (no schedules except for Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit and student loan interest) in order to qualify.

~37% of taxpayers qualify to file with TurboTax Free Edition. Click here to see what forms are included.
