Whether or not you file a tax return is not based on the TurboTax account fees or the amount of your tax refund.  If your total income is greater than the Standard Deduction for your filing status you have to file a tax return.

But instead of paying those fees----

The IRS has restrictive guidelines for determining who needs to file, which means even if you don't owe, you may still have to submit a return. These restrictions are based on the amount and type of income you receive and whether automatic deductions will reduce your income below taxable levels.

 

Filing will also establish an historical record of your tax history (thus effectively limiting how far back the IRS can revisit your prior tax returns in the future).
