You appear to be using Live Deluxe.   That Live feature is available during business hours.  8AM-5PM Pacific, Monday-Friday.

 The Live portion of your product allows you to contact an expert for Live tax help and return preparation help from a CPA/EA tax pro.   It also includes a final review of your return, which they will sign, and continued tax help/advice during the year.

Live Deluxe is currently 119.99 for a Federal return and 44.99 for a state return.   If you choose to pay the fees out of the Federal refund, there is an additional 39.99 service fee (44.99 for California filers.)

Here's more info on using the Live feature of your product:
