No one in the user forum can resolve a billing issue.  If you have a question about your TurboTax fees or billing, make sure you use the word “billing” in your request for help.  Do not use the word “refund.”   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/contact-turbotax/L2y9ZKpQB_US_en_US?uid=m5s9l2vh   To cancel Advantage account https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/downgrading/help/how-do-i-cancel-my-turbotax-advantage-subscriptio... If you get charged for the Desktop program but can't install it, Turbo Tax has a special offer to move to the Online version.

You said you "applied" for the health insurance but didn't "use" it.   Was your application accepted so that you HAD insurance?  If you 'had' the insurance (your application was accepted and you did not cancel it), it doesn't matter if you didn't actually use it  or not - you had the insurance.   If you had insurance (you applied and it was accepted), you can probably access your 1095-A on your online account for the Marketplace.

@AJH4  just so there is no confusion, and your post suggests there is as there no test that combines income and school to determine a dependent.      There are two flavors of dependents - Qualifying Child and Qualifying Relative.   for the Qualifying Child, if he is a full time student, under the age of 24, lives with your at least half the year (and temporarily away at college still counts as living at home) and provides less than 50% of their own financial support, then he is your dependent.  Note there is no income test.    For the Qualifying Relative, he can not be a Qualifying Child, he earns less than $5200, and you provide more than 50% of his financial support, he is your depedent.  Whether in school, whether living with you are not tests for the Qualifying Relative who is your child.     

TurboTax Online: Important Details about Filing Simple Form 1040 Returns If you have a simple Form 1040 return only (no forms or schedules except as needed to claim the Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit or student loan interest), you can file for free yourself with TurboTax Free Edition, or you can file with TurboTax Live Assisted Basic at the listed price. Roughly 37% of taxpayers are eligible.   Examples of situations included in a simple Form 1040 return (assuming no added tax complexity): W-2 income Interest, dividends or original issue discounts (1099-INT/1099-DIV/1099-OID) that don’t require filing a Schedule B IRS standard deduction Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) Child Tax Credit (CTC) Student loan interest deduction Taxable qualified retirement plan distributions   Examples of situations not included in a simple Form 1040 return: Itemized deductions claimed on Schedule A, like charitable contributions, medical expenses, mortgage interest and state and local tax deductions Unemployment income reported on a 1099-G Business or 1099-NEC income (often reported by those who are self-employed, gig workers or freelancers) Stock sales (including crypto investments) Income from rental property or property sales Credits, deductions and income reported on other forms or schedules  1095A for marketplace health insurance  

When you use desktop download software you can e-file up to five federal returns and their related state returns.  The only "extra" fee is the state e-file fee, which can be avoided if you print and mail the state return instead of e-filing it.   As for your self-employed dependent---if they have even $400 of self-employment income, they are required to file a tax return and pay self employment tax for Social Security and Medicare.   On their own return they must say that they can be claimed as someone else's dependent.    

TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer.  “21 days”  is not a promise from TurboTax or the IRS.      First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:  https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/   Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control.  TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.     You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2024 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:    https://www.irs.gov/refunds   To track your state refund:     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_US_en_US?uid=lt447ebr   If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/refunds-take-longer-others/L14YlqFrH_US_en_US?uid=lexdr7zh . https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/irs-refund-taking-longer-21-days/L2vRAJbdU_US_en_US?uid=lexe7lst
