TurboTax no longer has the Audit Risk meter in the Online versions.

It's exclusively available in TurboTax Deluxe, Premier, and Home & Business Desktop versions and can be accessed on the Review tab (under Audit Protection).

@0016 as stated above if you are using the Online, TurboTax no longer offers the Audit risk meter in the Online version.

If you are using the Desktop version (CD/Download), the Audit risk meter can be accessed on the Review tab (under Audit Protection).

@0016 I am just a user like you, I have no idea why they took the Audit Mater out of the Online version. Yes the CD/Download allows you to e-file. Actually the CD/Download version lets you prepare unlimited returns, you get 5 free Federal e-files, there is a charge to e-file a State return. With Deluxe & above you get one free State program. See the following for the CD/Download software. With Basic you get Federal only, you would have to purchase a State. If you need to also do a state return Deluxe is the better option.

I have never even seen turbo tax offer or advertise the CD/Download.  where is it?  why would they change that and not tell anyone?  Just have it disappear?  How do I know it is even accurate on the CD/Download version?  It makes absolutely no sense.
