    in the u.s you don’t have to file if your income is under a certain threshold

    You don’t have to but also if you’re under that threshold you would almost certainly be getting a refund of all of the taxes you paid that year. So I highly recommend filing even if you don’t need to

        TurboTax

        There’s your problem. It should never cost money to file, unless you made over $12,000 and had no withholding. The IRS keeps a list of free tax filing services every year. I think last year I went with Free Tax USA or something. You should never pay to file your taxes unless you make a lot of money, or have a particularly complicated return with investments and income in multiple states and stuff.
