which has a cost. If you wanted to get the free file federal and state then you
need to use either the Federal FREE Edition or Freedom Edition of TurboTax 2017.
The links to both of those products are listed below. If you have already
started your 2017 tax return but did not e-file or pay for your TurboTax fees
and you wish to downgrade to one of the free options you can but that would
include using the clear and start over feature, and that would erase everything
that you have entered so far. I will provide the information below in a
TurboTax FAQ as well for the clear and start over feature if you wish to use it
and also information regarding understanding your TurboTax Fees.
TurboTax Federal Free Edition is a free solution
