I’m being charged for using an expert even tho I didn’t and because I’m under 25 they won’t file my taxes without it!

I’m under 25 and TurboTax gave me a perk that I don’t want to use but it won’t let me decline it and it’s trying to charge me $15 for filing my taxes even tho I did myself and don’t want the perk IM ******
