I work part time and go to school and i cant file for free because TT says I need form 5329. no explanation of why. just a charge for $79, which will give me a tax return of $17!

A form 5329 would only be required if you entered a Form 1099-R for distributions from a tax deferred retirement account and there was a distribution error based on your information.

 

If you did not enter a Form 1099-R, then delete the Form 5329
