Not a question: If it's not free, don't say it's free

Seriously, this almost rises to joke level.

I have turbotax Premier, Windows desktop edition. I'm about to file my returns.

At "How Do You Want to Pay?", it says

Pay with your federal refund

 "We'll take your TurboTax fees out of your federal refund for free. You'll need to buy TurboTax Premium Service for $45 to get this payment method".

 

That is the very definition of NOT free. If you spend money to get a service you would not otherwise have, there is no "free" involved.

 

Ridiculous!
