To charge an additional $24.99 to efile the state return, when your package states "free" state return, is misleading. LET THE BUYER BEWARE?

There's many pitfalls into one might fall with Turbo. 

 

1. any upgrade (whether used or not, whether needed or not) is non-refundable. The ONLY way to get around this is to erase all your filing data and start from scratch.

2. if paying the government through Turbo, there's a hefty "convenience fee" you must pay to a third-party parasitical company.
