Why am I paying a filing fee, Turbotax is supposed to be free for simple returns?

I have 1 W2, 2 1099R and 1 1099 SSA and my property tax?

If you selected to use itemized deductions with your tax return, then you would have to upgrade to the Deluxe online edition.  You do not need to enter property taxes paid if you will be using the Standard Deduction.

 

The TurboTax Free online edition is for very simple tax returns that do not require any other form or schedule other than the Form 1040.  If your tax data requires entry on any other form or schedule then you must upgrade to the Deluxe edition or higher.

 

If you have not paid for the online edition you are using, have not filed your tax return or registered the Free edition, then you can clear your return and start over with a lower priced edition. Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the program screen while working on the 2024 online tax return. Click on Clear & Start Over.
