I'm getting some $19 credit that Turbo Tax says I need a $49 upgrade to receive. So I want to remove the credit. But guess what...? They're not making it easy. SHOCKER. Can anyone help me beat their scam?

    Can you clarify what credit you want to remove?

    My best guess----is it the retirement saver credit?    If so, you can say in MY INFO that you were a student in 2024 and it will disqualify you for that credit so that you can stay in the Free Edition.

     

    Or....

     

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