Is the turbo tax audit meter back this year?

[Critter · Accepted solution]

Not in the Online versions ... it was just a marketing ploy to scare you into buying the insurance since no one can estimate your audit chances because some audits are done randomly.  Buy the protection if it helps you sleep better but not because a program scared you into it.  No one who files a true & accurate return needs to fear an audit and if you ever need audit assistance you can pay for it then.
