<prompt> Human: I usually file my taxes through TurboTax, and I meet the criteria for free filing or so I thought. This year, I had 300 of interest income from opening a new bank account.Under the IRS Guidelines you use Schedule B Form 1040A or 1040 if any of the following applies: You had over 1,500 of taxable interest or ordinary dividends. You received interest from a seller-financed mortgage and the buyer used the property as a personal residence. You have accrued interest from a bond. You are reporting original issue discount OID in an amount less than the amount shown on Form 1099-OID. You are reducing your interest income on a bond by the amount of amortizable bond premium. You are claiming the exclusion of interest from series EE or I U.S. savings bonds issued after 1989. You received interest or ordinary dividends as a nominee. You had a financial interest in, or signature authority over, a financial account in a foreign country or you received a distribution from, or were a grantor of, or transferor to, a foreign trust.My interest income was under 1500, and none of the other criteria apply to me. To me, this indicates that I dont need to file a Schedule B and should be able to get by with the 1040-EZ, which means I can use TT for free. TT sees it differently and wants me to file a Schedule B anyway, so I have to pay for their service - and it only informed me of this after I finished putting everything together and was ready to file.I tried speaking with TTs customer service, but they were of no help. Is there something Im missing here, or am I just getting screwed? Does anyone know of any way to get around this?  <response>: If your tax software is insisting on a schedule B, its probably because the info you entered previously is indicating you need to file it. Maybe go back and check the total of all the 1099-int you entered for typos? All together must total under that 1500 if I understand correctly.
