You appear to be using Live Self-Employed, which is the most expensive of the Online TurboTax products. That Live feature allows for on-demand help from a CPA/EA tax expert during return preparation and a review of your return prior to filing. It's $200 for a Federal return and $55 for a state return. And if you choose to pay the fees out of the Federal refund, there is an additional $40 service fee ($45 for California filers.)

That Live component can be removed, if you want regular Self-Employed Edition ($120 for Federal and $50 for state). We can tell you how to remove TurboTax Live or downgrade to a lower edition.
FAQ: How do I remove Live?

Did you start out in Deluxe Edition ($60 Federal/ $50 state) and had to upgrade because of items in your return such as capital gains/losses, rental/royalty income, self-employment income, etc.?
Have you already paid and filed? If you haven't yet paid, we can tell you how you may be able to downgrade to a lower edition if you don't have any self-employment expenses to report and don't need Self-Employment Edition.
