@Chelscola If you used one of the TurboTax online editions you were not required to pay for the online account fess until after you had completed the tax return and were in the File section of the program in Step 1. And only then after you had reviewed the amount being charged were you asked to pay with a credit or debit card or to have the TurboTax account fees paid from the federal tax refund.
At any time before paying you could have cleared the tax return and started over with a lower priced edition.
The TurboTax Free online edition is for very simple tax returns that do not require any other form or schedule other than the Form 1040. If your tax data requires entry on any other form or schedule then you must upgrade to the Deluxe edition or higher.
If you have not paid for the online edition you are using, have not filed your tax return or registered the Free edition, then you can clear your return and start over with a lower priced edition. Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the program screen while working on the 2022 online tax return. Click on Clear & Start Over.
