When starting my 2024 return, I saw no way to decline Live Assisted (I was forced to a promo screen that required me to select the service or be unable to proceed), so it looked like I had to select the "free trial" and then go though steps to remove it later on if I don't want or need it (I don't). After several attempts to start the return, a screen came up that allowed me to opt out, so that ended up working. Not sure why it didn't in the earlier attempts - it first looked like "trial" of the service was being forced, but restarting the return seemed to work after a couple of attempts.
