I am using the TurboTax Deluxe desktop software. I purchased the Audit Defense for $45 when I filed my 2021 individual federal tax return. But I have been charged $45 twice. Why?
Did you pay for Audit Defense upfront with credit/debit card, or did you choose to pay your product fees out of your Federal refund?
If you paid by credit/debit card, are there 2 charges of $45 showing up in your card account?
Are you a California filer? Or are you in a non-California state?
Did you file a state return?
Deluxe comes in 2 versions--one that is a Combo Federal and State version, and one that is Federal-only. Which version do you have? If your Deluxe is the Federal-only version, and if you added a state to it, there is a $45 fee for adding the state software to it.
Or do you have the Deluxe combo Federal and State version and were charged $45 for the included state software anyway by mistake?
In the desktop software there is a $25 fee to efile a state return. There is no state efile fee for New York state, and no fee to print and mail a state return.
We can tell you what to do and who to contact, once your situation is a bit more clear.
