Me too! I started using TurboTax years ago, and have always grudgingly paid the ever-increasing fees for the service. They&#x27;re so slippery about state filing fees.<p>I estimate I&#x27;ll be saving about $60 as a result of this article this year. For TurboTax, because I have a small mutual fund account, I have to upgrade to the &quot;Premium&quot; option just for those extra two or three boxes. H&amp;R Block had similar pricing last year. TaxAct has a similar pricing strategy but much lower prices: instead of $50 for the federal and $40 for the state, it&#x27;s just $15 each (or something like those numbers).<p>I&#x27;m thinking of it like this: TaxAct needs to afford their $200k houses in Iowa, while TurboTax needs to afford their $1M houses in the Valley.
