You overcharged me by $50. Why?

[h17]

I agreed to your ripoff charge of $60 because of my HSA, but now you're charging me $110. Why are you so shady?

[mesquitebean]

A Deluxe Federal return is $60.   Did you add a state return at $50?   Or did you happen to add MAX Benefits?

Be aware that if you choose to pay the fees  out of the Federal refund, there is an additional $40 service fee ($45 for California filers).   You can avoid that fee by paying upfront with credit/debit card.

Did you also prepare a state return?  With online TurboTax it is an extra $50 for a state return.

How can I see my TurboTax  fees?

The state return is a separate $50 fee in Deluxe and above.  See online prices, click on State Additional under the price

It said the state was free at the start. I agreed to the $60 charge because I have a HSA and it would not let me continue free with one. If I was told it was $110 I would not have agreed. It even showed $60 when I entered my information. I only saw $110 because it was in the email.

Then you should have that posted in the program. When it forced me to upgrade it did not state it was now charging for the state return.
