Fees

[20242]

I was not happy that half-way through doing my return for free, I was told I would have to pay $39 for my federal and $39 for my state.  This was supposedly only because my interest income was over $1500.  It was over by $391.  I don't understand the justification for the change from free to $39 for each return only because of going over a $1500 arbitrary amount.

When interest income exceeds $1500, you are required to file form Schedule B. That is an IRS requirement. Schedule B is not included in the Free Edition requiring you to upgrade to a paid version.
