Yes, the bastards really seem to need your $39.99. I clicked on it and there is a remove link below the State charge. But then it seems to be still there. Finally after many tries to get rid of it, decided to check charge my credit card to see how much would show. That worked. Only the state charge appeared. I HATE turbo tax because of this. Have used them for many years but this is the first time this happened. May try something else next year with a free state e filing.
