Click through to the info to see what forms can be included. Even on it's main info page [ http://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/free-edition.jsp ] it lists the 1040A and 1040 in the first bullet point of highlights. You can also use TaxAct for free, either online or as downloaded software. I used TaxAct the last 3 years and TurboTax the last 2 years. Yes, I use more than one program to double check my filing and then I file the one with the larger refund. The last two years both TaxAct and TurboTax gave me the same results so I went with TurboTax because of their name and support. The free version (right on the home page) is not limited to the 1040EZ.

So I switched over to taxslayer. Taxslayer did the K1 form for free and was just as easy to use as TurboTax. I definitely recommend Taxslayer.
