I am very concerned about how much I had to pay turbotax.. $106 seems very high .. I paid $80 last year .. please explain?

I paid $106 to you turbotax ..last year I paid $80.  Throughout filing turbotax is constantly advertising additional services which I do not need.. maybe I bought one by mistake ... I did itemize but other than that my taxes are basic...turbo charged $59 for federal and $39 for state (sc) ... doesn't this seem too expensive?

 Due to IRS adding new changes within the Schedules, there are now situations in which an upgrade may be needed. Because of this, it is possible that you may have added on a form or schedule that required an upgrade or an extra charge.

Please see the following link for tax situations covered in TurboTax Free Edition.
