Why is there an additional $40, so total of $80, just for filing federal and can that be avoided?

Did you choose to have your TurboTax fee deducted form your federal refund? Avoid the extra $40 fee by paying upfront with a credit/debit card before you file.

There is also The Turbo Tax Free File program which is free for federal and state. And has more forms than the Federal Free Edition, like Schedules A, B, C , D, E, F, EIC, H, K-1, SE, etc.

NOTE: You will have to setup a new account with a new username and new password or it will take you back to regular Turbo Tax.

To qualify for the Free File website you just need to meet one of these 3 things.

AGI $36,000 or less.

Active duty military with AGI of $69,000 or less

OR qualify for EIC (earned income credit.)

In order to use the Free File program, you have to start it at a special website. Click on the Orange button I Qualify, Let's get Started and set up a NEW account

You can view your fees by following the instructions below. Per @AlanT222

After signing in to TurboTax, open or continue your return.
Select Tax Tools on the left side of the screen and then Tools.
A Tools Center box will pop up on your screen.
Select the My Fees box on the right.

If your TurboTax fees are higher than expected, you can reduce them by removing add-ons:

As to the question of whether we used standard or itemized deduction in 2019, Turbo Tax says I can tell by looking at line 9 of our return. If over $24,000.00, we used itemized. Our 2019 line 9 shows $27,000.00, yet Turbo Tax insists we used standard deduction last year. What to do?
