Question

Why is my return almost 1000$ more through the IRS free file option with all of the same information I entered into my return with TurboTax?

You need to compare the two form 1040's and see what is the difference.

 

You can view your form 1040 while working in the online version of TurboTax by following these steps:

 

While working on your return in the Federal section of TurboTax:

 

   1.  Choose the Tax Tools icon on your left menu bar

   2.  Tools

   3.  View Tax Summary

   4.  Choose the Preview my 1040 on your left menu bar
