Why am I getting charged an additional 40 dollars for my federal return? Absolutely ridiculous. Taking my return elsewhere next year because this is VERY shady business.

You do not have to pay with your refund. Click the box that says "Pay with Credit Card" and pay upfront using your debit or credit card to avoid the $40 refund processing fee.
Look at your own screenshot---do you see two blue boxes at the bottom of that screen? The one on the left says "pay with credit card." If you choose that one, you do not pay the $40.
Correct, after putting all your information to pay in, you still have to pay them an amount that's more than $0.. Shady business practice
Sounds like you started in the Free Edition and entered something that caused an upgrade to a paid version.
