I absolutely agree with OP. TT is greedy and that's the only answer I see here. Furthermore, if you click the option to pay by deducting from your refund, you'll be facing a $40 extra charge! This fact is well concealed until you're almost done. I cursed out loud, backed up until I could change my mind about e-filing my state return. I have now printed the stupid thing so I can mail it. I'll be looking for different software next year. I'm sick of Intuit gouging me! Isn't the $60 I paid for the software enough?
