Amended Return and Surprise Fee

I purchased the most expensive TurboTax version available on the website "Full Service Self-Employed"  I submitted my returns but received a few simple K-1s two months later.  I requested an amendment but was told I would have to play an extra $300 + a MA state filing fee.  I'm a little upset about a surprise fee not listed on their website that doubles the cost of my return.  

 

- Do I really have to file an MA state return if I did not make any money in MA?  I have only a ($2,200) K1 passive loss.  MA returns only need to be filed if you make $8,000.  Did the tax agent incorrectly tell me I have to file an MA return?

 

- Can I downgrade to the Self-Employed Live plan somehow, so I can just enter the information myself?  (obviously not looking for a refund, but I'm perfectly content amending and filing myself in the usual interface).

 

It just seems entirely unreasonable to have to pay $400 to file an amendment that probably takes 30 minutes.
