How can I file my federal and states taxes without a premium package?

[deborahauda]

I don't need a premium package, but it seems like I"m being forced into using that. Is there a way around this? I want to file my taxes correctly and pay the least amount possible.

Good evening. If you are referring to removing the Premium Services Bundle, you can remove the Premium Services prior to filing , and then choose to pay the TurboTax fees upfront using a credit card, debit card, or a prepaid debit card.

• Note: If you want to remove these benefits, you will no longer have the free option to pay with your refund, but you can always choose to pay with your credit card.

In California, if you choose to pay any TurboTax fees out of your Federal refund, that service is bundled with Premium Services for 39.99.
