Get your taxes done using TurboTax
You may have STARTED for free (in the free or other version) but once you went to enter the 1099-G the requirement to upgrade to the Deluxe version would have been presented ( UNLESS you were already in the Deluxe version) ... look at the menu again ... it says you can START FOR FREE and PAY only when you file for any version other than the free one. If you are required to upgrade you would have at least 2 screens telling you why and you had to agree to the upgrade ... nothing is done behind your back. In the FILE tax step 1 the fees are also presented ... at that time you still could have stopped and not paid them.
In the future, no matter which program you choose to use, please question things before you do anything you are not happy/comfortable with, ask for assistance first not last.
