It shows that I have to use the form TurboTax Self-Employed, but I am receiving money from the government? Do I need to use the form?

Yes, if you receive a 1099-MISC income form and this is self-employment income, you have to complete a Schedule C, Profit or Loss From Business.

 

However, depending on your income, you may be able to use the IRS Tax Free File Program delivered by TurboTax to hard-working Americans and their families who meet the 2019 IRS eligibility requirements.

 

The IRS Free File Program delivered by TurboTax 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. Click here for additional information.

 

The IRS Free File Program delivered by TurboTax is exclusively available online and has its own dedicated website at taxfreedom.com.  It isn't accessible from the "regular" TurboTax.com website.

 

To qualify for free 2019 federal and state tax returns through the IRS Free File Program delivered by TurboTax, you just need to meet one of these requirements:

  • Your 2019 household AGI is $36,000 or less;
  • You qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC); or
  • In 2019, you served as active duty military (including Reservists and National Guard) with a maximum AGI of $69,000, and you have a military-issued W-2.
