So Turbotax is not really free as they claim? I got to the end and now will be charged $90.00 in order to file taxes. Did anyone get to use Turbotax for free?

The landing page says START FOR FREE on all programs ... if you started in the FREE version and were required to upgrade the cost of said upgrade would have been presented and you had to agree to the upgrade.  At no time was this information withheld to ambush you at the end. start for free pay later.jpgupgrade why.PNGupgrade 1.PNGupgrade why 3.PNGupgrade warning .PNG

Now ... if you have not paid and you qualify to use one of the 10  IRS FREE FILE options you can abandon this account and switch to one of them ...  https://www.irs.gov/filing/free-file-do-your-federal-taxes-for-free

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. 

For Free File Edition a user needs to meet only ONE of these qualifications:

•      AGI of $36,000 or less
•      or active duty military (including Reservists and National Guard) with a military-issued W-2 and a 2019 AGI of $69,000 or less
•      or eligible for the Earned Income Credit (EIC aka EITC).

The FREE FILE Edition is located at:
