You appear to be using Online Deluxe, which is 59.99 for a Federal return and 44.99 for a State return.

Did you start out in Free Edition and had to upgrade to Deluxe because of situations in your return that required Deluxe?   We could tell you how to downgrade to Free Edition, if desired, but if you have a situation requiring Deluxe it would just ask you to upgrade again.

The regular Free Edition is more limited this year due to new tax laws.  If anyone need any of the new Schedules 1-6, it will ask them to upgrade to Deluxe.   You could try it to see if you can use it (we can tell you how to downgrade.)    But here's another option:

If you don't qualify to use regular Free Edition, there is a second free product called TurboTax Free File Program, which can handle all the usual  Federal forms, and is free for both Federal and state returns.  It has no fees or upgrades.

You have to meet only ONE of these qualifications:

1) 2018 AGI of $34,000 or less
or
2) Eligible for EIC (earned income credit)
or
3)  Active duty military including Reservists/ National Guard with military W-2 and 2018 AGI of $66,000 or less


NOTE:  If you switch to Free File Program by that method, and find out later you don't qualify,  you won't be able to go back to regular Online TurboTax in that same account.  So instead of switching that way, if you wish you could start a new account (User ID) at the Free File Program website, which would maintain the option of returning to the other Online TurboTax account, if necessary.
