I am very sorry, but there are two different processes in place.  If you do not have a filing requirement then you can chose to simply register with the IRS for your stimulus payment.  If you have a filing requirement, and have not filed a return for 2018 or for 2019, you need to file a return to receive your stimulus payment.  

 

Make sure that you are using this link for your Stimulus Registration.  When you are on this webpage, scroll toward the bottom and select, If you don't need to file your taxes this year.

 

 

If you are trying to file a tax return for free, and we are charging you, You can switch to the Free Edition, however the information that you can enter is pretty limited. 

 

It is important to make sure you’re eligible to Free File. If you answer yes to any of these question, you qualify:

  • Is your adjusted gross income (AGI) $36,000 or less?
  • Were you active duty military in 2019 with an AGI of $69,000 or less?
  • Do you qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EIC)?

To switch to IRS Free File Program delivered by TurboTax.

  1. Sign out of your existing TurboTax account.
  2. Go to the IRS Free File delivered by TurboTax website and sign in to your same account from there.
  3. Select Yes, switch to IRS Free File Program delivered by TurboTax when asked, and Continue.
