I want to submit my interest but i dont want to pay for deluxe. It is rude to charge fee4something that is mandatory to report. I dont want to buy anything. Why not free?

Im not going to buy deluxe. To report student loans.

I want the intrest i earned through hard work.

Not going to just throw that away when the whole point all year was to get a little back.

So rude that you force deluxe on me.

Let me collect on my intrest for free like previous years. 

Edit: was forced to purchase deluxe. Couldnt restart my tax form so i had to pay the $80 just to be told my intrest isnt even included. Good to know for next year.

There are cheaper tax preparation services out there.

No need to force this on me turbo tax. Ive been loyal user to you guys. Never had to pay before. Im very disappointed.

Free should mean free.

Not free but only if you didnt make payments on your student loans.

WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY?  I WANT THE FREE EDITION

The information that you can enter in Free Edition is pretty limited now.  Thanks to the new tax laws, there are no more simple Form 1040EZ or 1040A's.  Everything goes on a little “postcard-size” Form 1040 that has six extra "schedules" with it, and if you need any of those schedules, you are not able to use the Free Edition.  

https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-1040  

If  you qualify to use it, there is another free version of the software:

Try Free File: 

You qualify if your income was $34,000 or less, or $66,000 or less if active duty military, or if you qualify for Earned Income Credit

• How do I switch to TurboTax Free File Program?

Note:  If you do not qualify to use Free File then you will have to upgrade to Deluxe or higher in the paid versions of the software.    Online Deluxe $39.99  State software $39.99 

 If you choose “refund processing” to have fees deducted from federal refund, add another $39.99  ($44.99 in CA)

Very upset I had to pay for deluxe for the next click to tell me I cant deduct the student loan interest.

[darkfarie4]

I feel the same had to pay almost $80 for it to tell me i cant deduct it. What a dirty scam. Say it is free then charge people like that. And the deluxe didnt do anything for me
It was a waste. Im so mad.

Is this still an issue? trying to not make the same mistake:/

[darkfarie4]

Yes it is. Dont buy it.

[darkfarie4]

What ever it says. Skip intrest. You dont need to buy it.
