After you file
Well there is nothing you can do about the fees since you agreed to all of them. What I can do for you is give you some info for the future ... first buy the deluxe version WITH THE STATE only since you need to file a state return and then do NOT get sucked into paying more to upgrade the program since deluxe can and does handle all of your tax needs ... all downloaded programs can handle all forms. Although they try to upsell you by saying the upgraded program can "assist" you better it is not needed at all.
And the Audit protection is a racket as well ... if you file a true and accurate return you have nothing to fear from an audit and you can pay for assistance if you ever do need it. The best thing to do is REVIEW the entire return (more than once ) BEFORE you file it ... sleep on it and look again the next day. Only when you feel comfortable should you file it.
And lastly ... if you qualify ... use one of the IRS FREE FILE options ... for 2021 your AGI had to be $73K or less...
There are still eight various software providers who will participate in the Free File program but they will not be available until sometime in January----so if you want to use one of them---WAIT.
