Turbotax product overpayment

I am self-employed and my wife is employed

I filed Turbotax together with my wife

I paid the self-employed rate and Turbotax charged me the self-employed rate for my wife as well. I believe I should only have to pay the Standard rate for her but I did not see where I could change that. So I paid the two self-employed rates because I was in a hurry to get my taxes filed.

I think I should get credit for this over payment.

Yes? No?

Unfortunately, for 2019, there is no discount for a spouse’s return in any version of TurboTax Online.

Thank you for your response 

It is advantageous to do a return along with your spouse so I wouldn’t want to do them separately 

It doesn’t make sense to get charged for the upper level of product if it’s not needed

Maybe Turbotax could consider changing this in future
