Why the ***** is TurboTax charging everyone with Student Loan Interest the $60 Deluxe feature? Doesn't this feel like a total crock of **bleep*?

Seriously, every student in America then has to pay $60 for Deluxe Turbo Tax even with their very basic taxes. I OFFICIALLY HATE THIS COMPANY. IRS, if you're listening, axe these greedy mother **bleep**.

TurboTax also has another free product called the Free File Edition (not to be confused with the regular Free Edition).  It has free Federal preparation and free State preparation. There is no efiling fee. It is not available after October 15

The Free file Edition can handle a 1099-MISC.

The Free file Edition is more fully-featured than the regular Free Edition.  The Free File Edition can prepare Schedule A, C, D, E, and F that the Free Edition cannot. 

To qualify for free 2020 federal and state tax returns through the IRS Free File Program delivered by TurboTax, you just need to meet one of these requirements:

  • Your 2020 household AGI is $39,000 or less;
  • You qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC); or
  • In 2020, you served as active duty military (including Reservists and National Guard) with a maximum AGI of $72,000, and you have a military-issued W-2.


The FREE FILE Edition is located at:
