Cost for Live Help in Turbotax

In Turbotax, there is an icon in the bottom right corner with a person's image and the words "Live Help".  If the icon is clicked, is the Turbotax version upgraded to live help version at a higher cost?  If yes, how can I get the cost of the upgrade before initiating the process?

Yes, when you select the icon, a screen will appear alerting you to the cost of the upgrade. If you agree to the price, you may select the upgrade button that is at the bottom of the screen.

 

Meanwhile instead of requesting live help and paying the additional cost, you may ask your question here on our community forum if you have a specific tax question(s). Our community experts are here to help and we would be delighted to answer your question(s). We won't be able to prepare your complete tax return but we we can answer as many questions as you like.
