This is happening because you cannot use the Free edition since the tax data you entered is not supported by the Free online edition. It is only for very simple tax returns using Form 1040 and does not support any other forms or schedules.
The Deluxe online edition is $40
A state tax return is an additional $40 when using the Deluxe edition or higher
When you requested to have the TurboTax account fees paid from the federal tax refund, the service charge for that option is $39.99
Thus $120
