Why am I being charged $44.99 for California return and $59.99 for Max Benefits? I only requested the Turbo Tax Self-Employed.

In the Self-Employed Edition, the Federal return is 119.99, and a state return is 44.99.   

If you selected MAX Benefits by mistake, here's how to delete it if you haven't paid for it:

Also note that if you choose to pay your TurboTax product fees out of your Federal refund, there is an additional 44.99 service fee in California, where it is bundled with Premium Services.    If you chose to pay out of your Federal refund and don't want that, we can tell you how to remove that option prior to filing and pay upfront with credit/debit card.
