Where is the audit risk meter

The single reason i use Turbo Tax is for the Audit risk meter.  It is very disappointing that it is no longer available in the online version.  I have no reason to stay with Turbo tax now.

That function is only in the Downloaded/CD versions this year. 

And in my opinion it was a useless marketing ploy designed to get you to buy the Audit Protection package ... no "meter" can let you know your risk of being audited since the IRS does random audits every year so when your number is up it is up.

The Audit Risk meter is no longer available in the on-line version.

(I wouldn't miss it.  As the IRS doesn't release it's audit selection criteria, it wasn't more more than a wild guess anyway.  I'm guessing it's best use was as a marketing tool by Intuit.)
