There is no way to remove the $20 change for Max Refund. Im using the Mac Desktop version and have all current updates. What is the deal? Just a bug or ...?
You are NOT being charged an additional fee for the max refund guarantee (which is different from MAX benefits). You appear to be using desktop software. The desktop version does not have the MAX suite of add-on features. All TurboTax products have the maximum refund guarantee, and it is free. That is not the same as the add-on MAX benefits package available to online users (for a fee).
The $20 fee you show in your image above is the state efile fee in order to efile a state return. In desktop TurboTax, efiling of the Federal return is free, but there is a $20 fee to efile a state return (except no fee for New York state return.)
The second $20 in your image where it says "Total" (in black) is merely the sum of the $0 Federal fee plus the $20 state efile fee. Since the Max Refund Guarantee badge is also on that line, I can see how it can be confusing if one does not clearly see the smaller black word "Total."
NOTE: Also, you will save money to pay the $20 state efile fee using credit/debit card. If you choose to pay the $20 fee out of your Federal refund, there is an additional $40 service fee ($45 for California filers.)
