I completed my federal return for free through Uber's promotional self employment program but at no point in the filing process did Turbotax state that I would be charged for state filing until everything was complete and I was ready to file.  This site is a scam and needs to be regulated to prevent these shady business practices.  Because I had two state returns I was going to be charged $100 total.  I checked other tax preparation sites and have found that I'm eligible to file for free with them.  After using this site for 9 years I'm done and will be using a different service.

The TurboTax site is not a scam.  Unless you qualify to file with Free edition, none of the products including the state tax filing is free.  It is free to start so that you can see your refund or tax due and how the program works.  However, you would have to pay once you decide to file.
