Deluxe is 39.99
State is also a separate 39.99
If you select to have the fees deducted from your refund there is an EXTRA 39.99 Refund Processing Service charge (44.99 for California) which you can avoid by paying with a credit card .
So you could have 2 charges of 39.99 for 79.98
Or you could have 3 charges of 39.99 for 119.97 (124.99 Calif)

Because the IRS changed the 1040 form (in an effort to make it more simple, hahaha) there now appears these new schedules. I also ran into a problem with having to file an addl schedule, all just to write in the no healthcare tax penalty. So that my otherwise VERY simple tax returns would have costed me $104 to file on turbotax. Where's the sense in that? I found better service elsewhere.

Because the IRS has made major changes to Form 1040 for 2018, TurboTax has had to change what tax situations are included in Free Edition. Some of the things that used to be included are no longer included.
The IRS has simplified Form 1040 by moving many of the entries that used to be on Form 1040 to a set of six separate schedules. There are no short forms 1040A or 1040EZ for 2018. All 2018 tax returns will be filed on Form 1040. TurboTax Free Edition for 2018 will only prepare simple tax returns that can be completed with Form 1040 itself. Anything that requires one of the six new schedules requires an upgrade.
Credits reduce your total tax. A nonrefundable credit is a credit that could, if it were large enough, reduce your tax to zero. But your total nonrefundable credits cannot be more than your total tax. They cannot give you a refund that is more than the amount of tax you paid during the year in withholding and estimated tax.
The only nonrefundable credits that can be claimed on Form 1040 without Schedule 3 are the child tax credit and the credit for other dependents.
All the other nonrefundable credits that were on Form 1040 in previous years have been moved to Schedule 3. These include the following. If you claim any of these credits, you have to upgrade.
- Foreign tax credit
- Child and dependent care credit
- The nonrefundable portion of the American Opportunity Credit
- Lifetime Learning Credit
- Retirement savings contributions credit ("Saver's Credit")
- Residential energy credit
