Question

Can I use free file If I have a 1098-T form from my son's college, or do I need the deluxe package.

I was automatically put on the deluxe package, I tried to choose free file. I'm not sure if there was a reason I was put on the deluxe, or if I can just start all over and do the free file.

No, free file is just for simple tax returns which are defined as:

 

Situations covered (assuming no added tax complexity):

  • W-2 income
  • Limited interest and dividend income reported on a 1099-INT or 1099-DIV
  • IRS standard deduction
  • Earned Income Tax Credit (EIC)
  • Child tax credits
  • Student loan interest deduction

Your 1098-T reporting will need to be done using TurboTax Deluxe.
