That "audit risk" feature has not been included in online TurboTax for a number of years.   It is only a feature in desktop software.

 

FYI ... no one can predict which returns will be audited since the IRS does random audits every year to keep us honest.   That feature was used as a "scare" tactic to get you to buy the Audit Defense  add on ... it was a marketing ploy to increase the bill.   If you filed a true and accurate return then you should not fear being audited.

Were you talking about that little graphic audit risk display---or are you actually wanting to get /purchase Audit Support?

Yes---that was eliminated from online software a few years ago.   It is still included with desktop.
