I was eligible for a Free CPA consultation before filing my taxes. How can I initiate that consultation?

FREE CPA CONSULTATION: Keep going, you're steps away from being able to talk to a CPA or EA for free. Ask any questions about your return, payment options, and extending the time you have to pay your federal taxes.

After I paid; I signed out of Turbo-Tax, but they indicated I could return to 'File' and still request the consultation BEFORE i actually filed the return. So, I can't seem to get to that option again.

You need to add the Live expert help feature.  It doesn't show LIVE on your Premier version.

 

if you haven't added LIVE, How to get LIVE

The page appeared to indicate I had a 'FREE' consultation available with the Premier version i'm currently using. Adding LIVE requires an additional payment???

Oh I don't know.  Sounds like there may be another new offer I haven't seen or heard of yet.  I think another SuperUser has asked the Moderators for clarification.  I don't have access to the Moderator area.
