Before checking out, you'll have the chance to re-confirm that MAX is right for you. We don't offer discounts or refunds for unused features. We want you to have added protection and peace of mind, and MAX benefits do that best as a bundle.

Did you select to have the fees deducted from your federal return?  You need to go back though the File tab and pay the fees with a credit card.  Are you in California?  Are you using the Online version or the Desktop program?  

You get Audit Defense when you purchase PLUS Help & Support, MAX Defend & Restore, or Premium Services for Turbo Tax Online or Audit Defense for Turbo Tax CD/download.   So to remove Audit Defense you need to remove Plus or MAX or Premium Services,
