Yes, TurboTax Online Student is free for students.

Please note: if you require features not included in TurboTax Student edition you will be prompted to upgrade. For example, if you enter self employment income you will be prompted to upgrade to TurboTax Home & Business.

Here is a list of the features included in the different versions of TurboTax: http://turbotax.intuit.ca/personal-tax-software/online-tax-software.jsp

Hi IntuitRyan,
I am a student but when I chose the student edition it is saying I have to pay 17.99$!!!! And I have used your software before so I do not understand what the problem is.

its demanding 17.99 from me as well, after spending my whole morning on my day off and now its a complete waste.  Bait and Switch anyone?  who knew TurboTax was just a scam

"Prompted to upgrade..."???

FORCED to upgrade is my experience. Then prevented from downgrading.
