Not only is the advertising for TurboTax misleading. It NEVER said I would be charged for state filing. Suddenly my state filing is more than Federal. I called Customer Support and the lady said "too bad".
I logged out went to another site. I came back to see what the final numbers were at Turbo Tax and suddenly, filing fees went from $70 to $80. I never changed a single thing when I logged back in.

Credit card statement shows 2 Intuit charges. One is $25 which I agree for electronic filing of my DE taxes. The other is $45 for nothing I agreed to. I did not sign up for support if I’m audited. I want my cc credited for $45.
