TurboTax Cost

[irishmc3251]

I need to file three separate tax returns (myself and two daughters). I just tried to file the first one and the system wants to charge me $59 for Federal and $49 for GA State. Will I have to pay this for each tax return?  Otherwise, the CD at OfficeMax is only $49 for Deluxe + State.

The CD will let you e-file up to 5 federal returns.  There will be a $25 added charge for each state that you e-file.  But you can avoid that by printing and mailing the state returns.  For someone doing multiple returns, it is a much more cost-efficient option than lpaying for three online accounts.
