What is the additional cost of $21 per person for? I already purchased the program.

Did you enter your code at turbotax.ca/activate before you started your returns? If not, you can enter it in the coupon code space.

I did enter the activation code before I continued. If I ignore the msg will it go away or will Turbo Tax expect payment?

But you told me that there were no hidden charges and now it seems that there are hidden charges? Have you lied to me?

Did you start by activating your software in turbotax.ca/activate? The only way to be charged $21 is because there was an amount included from the previous list shared above. Those items are not included in the free return.
