I was not given an option NOT to buy Turbotax Max. I assumed (wrongly) that I would be given the opportunity to remove the $60 charge in the process of setting up the payments but the charge went through without my being asked. Once your credit card is processed, there is no turning back. I'm not very happy with how this was done and I haven't even given my consent (yet) for TurboTax to complete my taxes. What if I don't give my consent? I have no clue but I'll hold off for now and see what happens.
