I qualify for free filing for my federal return. Will filing my New York State return also be free?

TurboTax Free Edition is indeed free for both federal and state returns, but only about 37% of taxpayers qualify. Here's a bit more detail:

 

TurboTax Free Edition:

• Cost: $0 for federal, $0 for state, and $0 to file.
• Eligibility: Available for those filing simple Form 1040 returns only (no forms or schedules except as needed to claim the Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, and student loan interest)

How to Verify Eligibility:

1. Continue through the program: As you enter your information in TurboTax, it will automatically verify if you qualify for the Free Edition
2. Check your tax situation: Ensure your return is simple enough to meet the criteria for the Free Edition
