To qualify for free 2017 federal
and state tax returns in Freedom Edition, you'll need to meet one of these requirements:
- Your 2017
Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) is $33,000 or less
- You qualify
for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)
- In 2017, you

Freedom Edition is available online
at www.taxfreedom.com. Please note that the Freedom Edition website is not
connected to the TurboTax.com website.
TurboTax Freedom
Edition is geared towards lower-income filers, regardless of
tax return complexity, and is only offered through the IRS Free File Alliance
(FFA) program. No upgrades are available, but state returns are free.
TurboTax Free Edition,
on the other hand, can be used by higher-income filers but only handles simple
returns (1040EZ and some 1040A returns). Upgrades and add-ons, such as TurboTax
PLUS and Audit Defense, are available.
Still not sure which one is right
for you? Then we suggest starting with TurboTax Freedom Edition. If you don't
meet the Freedom Edition qualifications, we'll give you the opportunity to
switch over to Free Edition.
