    Is it not free? I didn’t pay anything when I used it last year.

      May have come out of your return - also it only does federal, there is a fee for state. And it only does federal for free if you meet a whole slew of requirements, otherwise, you are required to pay a premium.

        I’ll look at the paperwork again, I definitely didn’t see anything about any charges and I did federal and 2 states. It prompted me a few times to go up to the paid tier but I declined it. I didn’t get enough of a return for them to take out of.
