Okay. So I'm filing my taxes and everything is good until I get to the end and it says I have to pay a fee of $104.98? But I made sure to always press the 'Don't Add Max' button?? Why do I have to pay

[isahuh]

Where did this fee add up from?? I dont even have enough in my return taxes to pay for it. Help please.

You are in Deluxe
Deluxe is 59.99
State is also a separate 39.99 in all versions above the Free Edition
If you select to have the fees deducted from your refund there is an EXTRA 39.99 Refund Processing Service charge (44.99 for California)

So you could have Federal & State 59.99+39.99 for 99.98
Or Federal plus Pay with Refund fee 59.99+39.99 for 99.98
Plus Sales Tax.

Actually state went up recently to 44.99
So 59.99+44.99 = 104.98

[isahuh]

Is there anyway I can go back to a standard version and out of the Deluxe??

To go back to the Free Edition you can try to clear and start over

Oh, I want to tell you about another website that is totally free.

There is also The Turbo Tax Free File website which is free for federal and state.  And has more forms than the Federal Free Edition, like the full 1040 return and Schedules A, B, C , D, E, F, EIC, H, K-1, SE,  etc.

To qualify for the Tax Freedom website  you just need to meet one of these 3 things
AGI $34,000 or less
Active duty military with AGI of $66,000 or less
OR qualify for EIC (earned income credit.)

In order to use the Turbo Tax Free File, you have to start it at a special website:
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://turbotax.intuit.com/taxfreedom">http://turbotax.intuit.com/taxfreedom</a>

When you get to Tax Freedom use the link to "I Qualify, Start Now" at the bottom instead of the sign in link. And you have to create a new account, if you use the same account info it will take you back to Turbo Tax.
