Why is it trying to charge me to file while on active duty military?

Last year my order summary showed that it was free due to active duty status. This year it is trying to charge me all these additional fees to file.

MILITARY DISCOUNT

(There are no military discounts on “Live” versions, the CD/download or on add-on features)

 

In the My Info section of the program indicate that you are active military.  You must enter a Military W-2 in the Wages & Income section and after completing the W-2 on the screen labeled Let's check for uncommon situations you will need to check the box Active military duty

 

When you are at the end of preparing your return you should not be charged,
