4/15/26 Fed Return Only Basic Service - The payment page showed $59 for BASIC Service, with my chosen CC #.  I hit confirm, and WAS BILLED $188 plus tax for Expert Assist Premium. You lied, misrepresented and ripped me off. I never spoke to any expert, and in fact was not happy how relentlessly you pushed the upsell this year. I expect a credit. I am shocked.
Please credit $129. I will be happy to pay the $59 I agreed to, and should have been charged.
Please, if you do not comply again, I will unfortunately call my CC Company.  Case #s[phone number removed], [phone number removed], [phone number removed], [phone number removed].
TT turned me down 4 times. Wells Fargo CC cannot get price reduction without a copy of the $59 Charge Page. No One screenshots Invoice Page, we trust vendors like TT. NO MORE.

There is no longer a TurboTax Basic desktop program for US tax returns.

 

If you purchased TurboTax Basic then you are using the Canadian editions of TurboTax.

 

This is the TurboTax US user community website.
Go to this TurboTax Canada website for assistance with a Canadian tax return or the TurboTax Canada editions - https://turbotax.community.intuit.ca/turbotax-support/en-ca

You probably used the Deluxe version.  Online Deluxe is or was $59.  Don’t know where it would say Basic Service.   There are 3 Online versions, Free Edition, Deluxe and Premium.    Then you can add Expert help and some other services for additional charges.
