TurboTax is not a charity. It is a business. It employs many people and pays their salaries. It does offer free taxes to people with very simple returns. But if you have forms that are not included in the free version, then you are charged. It is like buying a car. You can pick the lowest price with the least options or you can decide to pay for the luxury version. For income tax, TurboTax is the luxury version.
