Cost and compatibility

The TurboTax software I bought at Costco required an updated Mac software version. Your packaging says nothing about what version of software is required. Then I get to the end of the return, and only then do I find out the exorbitant cost of the online version, which does not include the state returns. 139 + 64 + 64.  There is no way out of the fees, which are a lot more than I have ever paid in the past. So, Turbo does not disclose up front. And then there are all kinds of messages like, just get it done, relieve yourself of the stress, use the refund to pay. I went to the online disclosure, and it explains that the cost of the return is contingent on the complexity of the return. I have had mostly good things to say about TurboTax - until now.
