At no time does TT say it costs $50 to get a free transcript form the IRS just to get the AGI ... the fee is for a copy of the complete return. And not everyone has your luck on the IRS site in setting up an account so easily.
It is up to you to take responsibility for saving your information ... the program tries to upgrade you to PLUS no less than 3 times telling you that access to the prior year returns will not be available without it so if you choose to not buy the plus feature and did not save a paper or PDF copy of the return when you had the chance then you are the only person to blame. TT is a DIY tool so don't blame the program for your failure.
