Chances of an audit

Every year when I file, Turbo Tax gives me a scale of whether or not the IRS is likely to audit me, like if there are any audit flags that might catch the IRS attention.  They didn't give me that this year, have they stopped doing that?

Yes, they have. That feature was removed from Turbotax Online version this year.

why did they remove it;  I felt  that feature was very helpful and one of the reasons I use turbo tax.

I have no idea. But I can tell you that the IRS does not release guidelines for selecting a return for an audit, so any estimate of that that you get is at best an educated guess.
