There are 2 free products. One of them the regular Free Edition is currently free for Federal and State for simple 1040A and 1040EZ returns. That offer usually expires around mid-March, but it has not been announced. When it does, the state return in the past has been 29.99, but I don't know if that will be the same this year.
The other free product will stay free all filing season--the FREEDOM Edition. It has free Federal preparation AND free State preparation.
There is no efiling fee, no upgrades, no fees, etc.
The
Freedom Edition is more fully-featured than the regular Free
Edition. The Freedom Edition can prepare Schedule A, C, D, E, F and enter K-1
that the Free Edition cannot. It will prepare a Form 1040 return, or 1040A or
1040EZ.
For Freedom Edition a user needs to meet only ONE of
these qualifications:
- AGI of $33,000 or less
- or
active duty military (including Reservists and National Guard) with a
military-issued W-2 and a 2017 AGI of $66,000 or less
- or eligible for the Earned Income Credit (EIC aka EITC).
