It's ridiculous. You need to read the agreements carefully. They figure people will be getting lots of money back and feel rich, so the charges wont matter. WRONG!! I was charged 40 for deluxe and 40 to have it taken out of my refund. NO WAY!! I quickly hit the back button.

Here are the steps to view your fees, while in TurboTax follow these steps:

• Select My TurboTax in the top-left corner,
• Select My Tax Timeline,
• Scroll to the bottom and select Some things you can do,
• Select Add a state (you will not actually add a state, this is just a way to get you back into the return without amending it),
• Select View order summary  under We can also help you with to see a breakdown of fees.
