You are currently
using TurboTax Deluxe Edition which has a cost. If you wanted to get the free
file federal and state then you need to use either the Absolute Zero or Freedom
Edition of TurboTax 2016. The links to both of those products are listed below.
If you have already started your 2016 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 for simple federal returns – 1040-EZ or 1040-A
with the standard deduction.
If you upgrade to a
higher-tier version or choose additional add-ons (such as TurboTax PLUS), there
will be additional fees.
To get an itemized
breakdown of your charges, start by reviewing your fees. You can then remove any add-ons before you
pay by following these instructions:
·
Remove upgrade to Deluxe, Premier, or Home & Business
·
Remove MAX
·
Remove Refund Processing Service
·
Remove TurboTax State
·
Remove TurboTax Premium Service
·
Remove TurboTax Federal Free Edition PLUS
You can also remove
all fees by clearing your return and starting over, provided you haven't paid yet.
