It costs me $69 to purchase Turbo Tax Deluxe and it's required because I have a $200 Retirement Savings Contribution Credit... how can I remove this credit from my return and keep the FREE edition?

You can trick the software into disqualifying you for that credit by saying in MY INFO that you were a student.  Or you can keep the credit and use other free software.

 

 

Use this IRS site for other ways to file for free.  There are 8  free software versions available from the IRS Free File site

Or—if you live in certain states you may be eligible to use the new IRS Direct File
