Increase in cost substantial for 'upgrade' and does not credit me for what I paid at Costco

Last year I paid $30 (Costco activation code) for two tax returns (I filed as a couple).  This year, I have the same tax situation and TurboTax is asking for an additional $70 (plus tax).  The cost has changed from $30 to $100 (plus 13% tax)  for the same service (actually it is inferior to last year's version for a few notable reasons). 

 

Is it possible to choose the inexpensive version for myself as I have no income and then choose the appropriate version for my spouse and still file together?  Why does it force me to pay the most expensive version twice???  


Can Turbo Tax offer me a discount?

Perhaps you need to hire me to work on your pricing.

Also, you should lobby the Federal Government to deduct the full cost of Turbo Tax of our income taxes.
