Filing Fee Question

Turbo Tax charged me a $40 filing fee, but they were unable to e-file it and said I have to mail it. How do I get a refund of this $40?

There is no filing fee for either a federal or state return in the online platform.  The charge is likely for the tax preparation program.  That fee applies whether you e-file or print for mailing.

Purchasing the TurboTax online editions for 2019 is dependent on the tax data you will need to enter on a federal tax return.

Go to this TurboTax website for a comparison - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/compare/online/

 

The TurboTax desktop CD/Download editions all include the same forms, schedules and worksheets.  The difference in the desktop editions is the amount of help and assistance is given in completing your tax return.
