Filing

If you used something other than Free last year, when you transfer your parent's info into a 2024 return, it will automatically put you back in the same version you used last year. Also, if your mother had any unused medical expenses, that would transfer over as well, causing the need for an upgrade. To prevent this from happening, you would need to start a new return without transferring info.

To do this, start a new return, by selecting “Start a New Return” from under “My Returns” in the bottom left corner. Then select "Create A Different Return" at the bottom to start a completely empty return.

Once you have started your new return, you can select “View All Returns” from under “My Returns”. Then delete the unwanted return by clicking the small Trash Can next to it or “Delete” under the return’s name.
