Overcharged filing fees. Was only supposed to be $39.99.

Due to IRS adding new changes within the Schedules, there are now situations in which an upgrade may be needed. Because of this, it is possible that you may have added an add-on that required an upgrade or an extra charge.

I was overcharged as I am a student at the University of Phoenix in AZ. We get discounted for @$20 and pay no more than $39 for fees. I want my reimbursement. My account is [email address removed] I was charged $59 a piece and something of $117.00 that's crazy. I filed on 01/24/23 for my Federal. Pending on my State.

@srmlpn You may have misunderstood what you were choosing.  The state return is an additional $39.  If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that is an extra "refund processing fee" of $39.  And as for the discount...you had to enter by way of the link that offered the discount.  Did you do that?

No one in the user forum can resolve a billing issue.  If you have a question about your TurboTax fees or billing, make sure you use the word “billing” in your request for help.  Do not use the word “refund.”

The problem isn't the fee, or how many times I was charged; the problem is that it wasn't disclosed, nor was I shown a subtotal before they charged my credit card. This is predatory.

Please see this Help Article for instructions on how to review the fees.

Sounds like you used the Self-Employed online edition.  You could have canceled at any time before paying or filing then clear the return to start over with a lower priced edition.

 

Note - If you have entered a Form 1099-MISC with income shown in box 3 of the form or a Form 1099-NEC with income in box 1, this would indicate to the program that you are self-employed, thereby requiring the use of the Self-Employed edition to report the income and expenses for your self-employment.

 

You will have to contact TurboTax support for this issue.  Use the key words Billing Issue
