You are partly correct. The fee is $19.99 if you file BEFORE 3/1. After 3/1 the price increased to 24.99. That is just one of the many issues with TurboTax. There is no reason for the increase. PERIOD. Turbo Tax does NOTHING extra, no software changes, no extra information, no extra personnel to process, nothing out of the ordinary. THEY DONT EVEN PUSH THE BUTTON to send the return. The increase in charges is totally uncalled for and unwarranted. I think this is TurboTaxes last year for me.
