Why did I get charged $150 for a simple tax return. I could have gotten it done locally for $60.00. I did not know I was using "Deluxe". Can someone please explicitly

I wanted the free version not "Deluxe". A complete fraudulent rip off.

The TurboTax Free edition only supports simple tax returns that do not require any additional schedules. More complex tax returns will require Deluxe or higher depending on the forms that are needed.

You might be able to use the Free File (formally called Freedom Edition) for incomes under $72,000 (or $39,000 with the TurboTax version) and supports all states and most forms.

The Free File is part of the IRS Free File alliance and is totally separate from TurboTax website.

You can also access the Free File tax alliance programs via the IRS website.
