Heck yeah. F you Intuit!

Free except if you're filing state taxes
It's a flat $15 for the state filing regardless of state or income, it's the main way they make money to be able to run (their optional support options are the other way they make money). I prefer the transparency of $0 federal $15 state to some ambiguous amount between $169 and $359 federal and $39-$64 state for TurboTax
Wow, that’s crazy. I use TurboTax every year and federal tax filing has always been free (included in purchase) plus I think $30 for State filing. Every year for decades. Where are those huge fees coming from? Do you have a business or something?
Yeah but who even bothers with those?
The IRS is also piloting their own free direct filing system this year in a few states as well!
Ugh. Me having used TaxSlayer.
