Self-Employed online edition for a federal tax return - $90

State tax return when using the Deluxe edition or higher - $40

Or you selected the option to pay the TurbTax account fees with the federal tax refund - service charge $40

Or you selected the optional Max Benefits or the Premium Services at an additional charge

All your fees were shown in the File section, Step 1 Review of Charges screen

If you have not paid for the online edition you are using, have not filed your tax return or registered the Free edition, then you can clear your return and start over with a lower priced edition. Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the program screen while working on the 2019 online tax return. Click on Clear & Start Over.

IRS Free File Program - https://apps.irs.gov/app/freeFile/
If you are eligible you can use the TurboTax Free File Program which is free to file both a federal and state tax return. The Free File Program edition is a full featured personal tax program and on a separate website from the TurboTax online editions.

 

To qualify for free 2019 federal and state tax returns with the Free File Program, you'll need to meet at least one of these requirements:

  • A maximum 2019 adjusted gross income (AGI) of $36,000; or
  • You qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC); or
  • You served as active duty military (including Reservists and National Guard) with a maximum 2019 AGI of $69,000 (you'll also need a military-issued W-2).

It shows you are in the Self Employed version.  It is $90 for federal and $40 for state.  Then if you want to have the fees deducted from your refund is an Extra $40 Pay with Refund service charge.
