I did my Federal tax return using Turbo Tax. Last year I did the same with no charges it was free. This year when I got to the end of competing my return and I got a message saying I would have to pay $89 because I needed to use Turbo Tax Deluxe to file my return. I didn’t need the Deluxe program because my return was very basic. I used the Standard Deduction with no additional documentation. My return was identical to the one I filed on my 2022 return except the number changed. No change in the source of my income or no additional investments. Don’t understand why I was charged for the deluxe version which I didn’t need. I was not told of this charge until I got ready to file my taxes. I paid it because I was not given another option. Why was I not given an option before I began the return? This boarders on being unethical. I believe I was using the free version and wasn’t told any difference until the end and not given an option.
