Me too. I have the exact same tax situation as last year, but now it pushed me really hard to upgrade, and at the very last step, it told me that something I entered on page 1 meant that they required me to go up by 1 pricing tier. They VERY CLEARLY made this product so that it wouldn't tell me that I needed to upgrade until I got to the very last step, so that I would feel intimidated at the idea of starting over with someone cheaper. So I switched to TurboTax, went through the same thing, and wound up paying $10 more as an F-You to TaxAct. Although turbotax did the same thing to me, so my moral high ground is pretty imaginary.

They’ll try to upsell you to Premier or Business for “extra guidance,” but you can just say “no keep going in Deluxe.” Deluxe with State can usually be had for $40 or less, but it’s $60 even at full retail.
