Question

My 19yo son is filing through turbotax. He’s studying abroad, income <$10K. GI Bill and ~ $30K scholarship from the school. T-tax $89 federal/$54 state seems too high?

Q. T-tax $89 federal/$54 state seems too high?

A.  You really haven't provided enough info. 

 

Based on the little info that you did provide, $89 doesn't sound like enough.  If the GI Bill is paying for the qualified expenses (tuition and fees), that means the scholarship is going for non qualified expenses (room & board) and that makes it taxable.

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.
