Amount of your refund (if any) is irrelevant to services required to prepare your return. Appears you're using 'self-employed' version - not free from any service I know of. Try IRS.gov 'free file' to see if you can do better.

Did you not realize it was not free when you were about to be charged?

The truly free filing is found through the IRS website at https://www.irs.gov/filing/free-file-do-your-federal-taxes-for-free.

no I did not as it was free last time, I also thought I was getting a refund which was more than $1 so I went ahead and paid, one burnt twice shy, It filed free last time.
