Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I'm soooo glad I found this post.  Initially I went through the drill for doing the efile and came to a screen that said my cost for doing Federal was $0.00 and state was $15 ($25 - 10 (Amazon credit when I purchased).  On the next screen I selected 'take from my refund' - no cost shown for this selection.  At the end I was presented with a $60 cost.  I called tech support and got a song and dance that the forms that I was using negated the free Federal efiling.  I was totally POed and was about to chop down trees and print many pages and mail the returns until I read these posts.  Common sense would dictate that Turbotax would show the $45 cost nest to the box where you select pay from the Federal refund.  I wouldn't have a problem with that if it was disclosed as it involved more effor by Turbotax to get their money.  However someone came up with the brilliant idea of trying to slip it through without people understanding why they were being charged an additional $45.  SHAME ON YOU TURBOTAX.
