If you are like many of us ...trying to figure out how to OPT OUT of the pre-determined choice by Turbo Tax for $45...has been challenging! There have been many suggestions etc and Alot of confusion. But this worked for me:
Within TurboTax, simply go to
-SHOW TOPIC LIST (Black Tab / Top Right)
-Select #4 REVIEW / Audit Defense **Note it may be hiding under the Review Your Return / Analysis / Smart Check drop down arrows
- This will take you to Audit Protection Risk Results page -- Select Continue to next page
-You can now select NO THANKS for the Audit Defense @ $45
When I got to the end of my return & ready to file it had been removed from the misc. added charges.
ALSO -- Turbotax initially states that its Free to File Federal but State filing is $20 ... when I went to make the credit card payment ..it was now $25 - ?!!
By any chance are you in California?
Also, the discount for Turbo Tax ended on March 31st, there for the e-filing fee is now $25. You can find this information on our website.

Hello. No I am not in California...why do you ask?
Regarding the e-filing fee... it may show the discount on the website; but when I was within the Turbotax software...I thought I saw state e-file of $20. I had asked my husband if he wanted to pay $20 to e-file or simply mail the returns this year. - ??
