Free Edition is for simple returns that file a 1040 with no additional schedules, and is free as long as you don't select any add-ons or upgrades.

Review your fees to find out why you're being charged. Then, follow the directions to remove any unwanted charge:

It's ridiculous. You need to read the agreements carefully. They figure people will be getting lots of money back and feel rich, so the charges wont matter. WRONG!! I was charged 40 for deluxe and 40 to have it taken out of my refund. NO WAY!! I quickly hit the back button.
