@trelemmons - just an alternative thought....
the idea is to PREPARE your income tax. That is what you are paying for.
How you file (efile or paper), when you file or if you file, is not what yoy pay for.
Turbo Tax helps you create a tax return. Once that step is complete, their contract requires payment (that is why you can't even see the tax return until you pay if you are using the online version of turbo tax)
There is no fee charged by Turbo Tax to efile (or paper file).
just a thought....
