I originally answered below with a general answer to go back to Lyft website and find the TurboTax link there and always use it to work on your return.

I just found a better FAQ on that issue and have now posted it below, but you may have been emailed that original answer.
The FAQ I provided in the Answer section below has more precise steps at Lyft.

You can check your fees at anytime once you are back to using TurboTax by accessing it through the Lyft site
.
With the return open, click in the left menu column on TAX TOOLS, then TOOLS.
In the Tools window, choose MY FEES.

EDITED:

I just found this FAQ on how to apply the Lyft discount:

Important: Always access TurboTax from your Lyft driver dashboard. You can access TurboTax by selecting Tax Information or Accelerate Rewards pages in your driver dashboard. Do not go directly to the TurboTax website to access your tax return, or it won't apply the discount.

FAQ:   Why isn’t my Lyft discount being applied to my TurboTax account?
