Question

Why do I need to pay $80 to file my taxes when in previous years with turbotax, I’ve been able to file for free?

Because you are too late to file for free or to file online and e-file at all.

TurboTax online and e-file for 2018 ended on Oct 15, 2019. 2018 (and earlier tax years) can now only be completed using the CD/download software installed on a Mac or Windows computer. The return must be printed, signed and mailed.

2016-2018 software can be purchased here:

You can file for free by downloading blank tax forms from the IRS an manually fill them out.
