Why is there a charge to file taxes, when the website says file for free?

I am a student and did not pay federal taxes in, but need to file and the website is charging me $44

What kind of income did you enter.  You say  you "did not pay taxes in but need to file"  What are you trying to do?  Why are you filing a tax return?

TurboTax Free Edition is free as long as it is a simple return that files a 1040 with no additional schedules or upgrades. Please see Why am I being charged for TurboTax Free Edition? for more information.
