Why do I owe $50 , I thought this turbo tax was free

[Spino]

Your post says you're using TT Deluxe online, which is not free. Somewhere along the way they got you to respond that you wanted to switch products! And it's not easy to get back to free once you've "crossed the line" no matter how sneaky it was.

The good news, though, is if you have a simple return, it's not that hard to start over.

No you are posting from online Deluxe Live.  The "free" version of Live that you can use if you file by 2-15 is online Live Basic.
