The only reason I have to pay ($59) for TurboTax is because I qualified for the ($45) "Elderly or Disabled Credit". Is there a way to remove this qualification to save?

I turned 65 in 2022. So, now I qualify for the "Elderly or Disabled Credit". But, that causes me to have a "SCHEDULE 3" which disqualifies me from using TurboTax for free. Since the tax credit is only $45 and TurboTax costs more, I would like to remove the "SCHEDULE 3" and am ok with losing the $45 credit. Can I remove it somehow?

Ask your Tax Expert to waive the upgrade charges back to Basic from whatever level causes you to upgrade and require a Schedule 3. Long story made short: No, we can’t suppress a required document to be filed – that is tax avoidance. We can appropriately discount your charge. I apologize for this inconvenience and thank you for your continued patronage with Intuit.
