"opt for TurboTax Assistance after I have filed "in case of audit"

It's not completely clear what that means, so I'm having to guess a bit.   Are you asking how to purchase the Audit Defense product?   If so, that is not a TurboTax product but is an affiliated partner.   It can be purchased inside TurboTax prior to filing, or you can purchase Audit Defense after filing by going to the Audit Defense website at the link below.   You'll get a lower price if you make sure the "intuit" is in the link as below.  You'll also see the TurboTax logo on the landing page.

 

https://intuit.taxaudit.com/

 

There is an extensive FAQ section there in their Help section (a tab at the top) which may answer questions you have about their service.

ADDENDUM:

Here's a tip:

On that landing page at the Audit Defense site, don't use the orange "Get Help" button.  That's for people who have already received an IRS letter, don't have Audit Defense, and need to buy current help.

 

Once you have read the FAQs and other info, if you want the product you would use the "Sign Up" button to enroll.   When you click the Sign Up button, the next page should show you the price.
