I had indicated i was a stdent but i am not sre if that is correct. I am a high school student, do i still need to upgrade to turbo tax standard?

From TurboTax Help: A student is someone who regularly attends a college, university, or other qualifying educational institution that offers courses at a post-secondary school level.

You should specify this question better. You should say that this excludes high school students or that it's meant for college, university or technical school on main page when asking. Saves a lot of chasing around for us people that are using this program looking for specifics to this sub category

There is a link to a definition for student on that question on the main page already and it explains what we mean by student.
