Why am i being charged for Deluxe

[LindseyLO]

If you are trying to use the Free Edition and are incurring extra charges or having to upgrade, see the TurboTax FAQ below for explanation and help with removing certain charges and downgrading back to free.

You may have a form that is not handled by Free, which required you to upgrade to Deluxe. If you need to downgrade, here's an article that'll walk you through -

There is no remove button shown

You'll need to clear your return to downgrade to the Free version. Before you do that, though, I highly recommend that you review this page to identify if your forms are covered by the Free version or not - <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/free-edition.jsp">https://turbotax.intuit.com/pers...>

Scroll down this page a bit and select "Tax Forms" and see if your form is on the list. If you want me to help, go ahead and post all the forms you're trying to file and I can let you know if free covers all of them.

Would it be my 1098-E Student Loan Interest Statement

I am also getting charged $44.99 for filing federal and state together , is there a way to not get charged

[QuickBooksSelf-EmployedKimberlyT]

That's the one... 1098-E isn't covered on the free version. The state return is a separate fee ($44.99) on top of your federal return fee (aka TurboTax Deluxe - $59.99).
