TurboTax does have 2 free products, but you apparently are not in one of them. You appear to be using Live Self-Employed, which is the most expensive of all Online products. It is 199.99 for a Federal return and 44.99 for a state return. If you choose to pay those fees out of the Federal refund, there is an additional 39.99 service fee (44.99 for California filers.)
The Live product is an upgrade that includes live on-demand help from a CPA/EA tax pro during return preparation and a final review of your return, which they will sign.
FAQ: What is TurboTax Live?

You can remove the Live portion, and then you would be in regular Self-Employed Edition if you need a Schedule C with expenses for a self-employed business. Regular Self-Employed is 119.99 for Federal and 44.99 for a state return. Or if you don't need Schedule C with expenses, you may be able to downgrade to an even lower edition.
