Why am I being charged for Federal, Utah and Ohio returns? I wasn't charged for state returns last year. How do I discontinue the Deluxe option and file for free?

TurboTax also has another free product called the Free File Edition (not to be confused with the regular Free Edition). It has free Federal preparation and one free State preparation. There is no efiling fee. It is not available after October 15

The Free file Edition can handle a 1099-MISC.

The Free file Edition is more fully-featured than the regular Free Edition. The Free File Edition can prepare Schedule A, C, D, E, and F that the Free Edition cannot.

For Free File Edition a user needs to meet only ONE of these qualifications:

AGI of $34,000 or less
or active duty military (including Reservists and National Guard) with a military-issued W-2 and a 2018 AGI of $66,000 or less
or eligible for the Earned Income Credit (EIC aka EITC).

The FREE FILE Edition is located at:
