Question

Audit Defense does not have a skip option

When I go to e-file, the Audit Defense page gives me two options: "I will do it later" or "Buy now". No, I'm not going to do it later and I don't want to buy now. I want to skip. I bypassed it by clicking on the next option at the top of the page but it's unclear if that broke anything. It seems like this is defective. (Does anyone from Intuit actually read this community?)
