I am trying to understand why I paid $104.98 to file my taxes... I did not upgrade and I also paid the filing fee.. help! I think I was over charged .

If you had a situation that required you to use the Deluxe Edition, you will have paid $104.98. The Deluxe Edition is $59.99 for Federal filing and $44.99 for the State filing, so if you filed both Federal and State taxes, your total will come to $104.98. 

You can file with TurboTax Free Edition if you use form 1040 with no attached schedules, but will need to upgrade to a different product if your tax situation this year falls outside of these situations.

• W-2 income

• Limited interest and dividend income reported on a 1099-INT or 1099-DIV
