But WHY do I have to pay for my state taxes now?
It stands to reason that if I have to pay for your deluxe service that I shouldn't have to pay extra for something which would ordinarily no cost anything, or at the very least have the option to select which services I choose individually.
To that end, customers should be able to degrade from Deluxe to free if they so choose WITHOUT having to clear and restart.
Y'all are sneaky b***tards. I can't believe I just paid $40 dollars to receive less service. I hate the feeling of being punked. Not that the other companies would be more honest, but for ethics sake I have to switch for next year. Can I make a new account without the deluxe?
Why do I have to pay $50 to submit state taxes if I chose the Delux for federal. What is the difference between the state free edition and this one. Something feels odd here..
The Free edition of TurboTax Online is only for "simple" tax returns, without any additional schedules. If you don't qualify for the Free federal tax return, you can't file a free state tax return.
I paid $45 for the Arizona state tax version in TurboTax, why am I being charged $25 to e-file AZ state taxes? That should be in stated in big bold letters that I'll be charged at e-filing before purchasing the state tax version. I've been a loyal Turbotax hard copy buyer for years and years now. I'm a little upset at not being told about the filing fee before the state purchase.
Which product are you using? Most desktop products don't charge to download one state but there is an e-file fee which you can avoid if you mail your state tax return. Please see this for more information: Is there a fee to e-file my state taxes in the TurboTax CD/Download software?
It switched to Deluxe and I had no way to "fix it" to the Free verssion- going through this again it switched again, fine I'll pay the $59 because of a little premium tax credit.
Now there's another $118 for TT States on top of it totaling $216 fees to file. I made 14k in 2022 FFS what the hell is this I have to pay more to pay more?
If you have a 1095A for marketplace health insurance you are not eligible to use the Free Edition. So you upgraded to Deluxe and then you are subject to the pricing structure for Deluxe--which means you pay $59 for the federal return and $59 for the state return. That is how the fees work for online.
Avoid choosing "refund processing service" so that you do not end up paying an extra fee of $39 (or $45 in CA) to have a third party bank receive your refund and take out your fees. Pay for using TT upfront by using a credit card to pay your fees.
How can I see my TurboTax fees?
