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.
