I have the same issue. I file the most basic form that they offer. Some years it is free, other years I have to pay $30 for the service. On those years I go to the IRS website and select from one of their actually free list of providers. I don't get why turbotax does this as I have never made over 40k in a year, own no property, have nothing invested, don't donate to charity. Yet they change what I pay depending on the year. I always file early as well. As soon as I get my W2s I file.
