Not sure, but I saw a screenshot of her return. (looking it up now) It was $539. The sad part: she didn't think anything of it, and thought that's how it was.

Not sure, but I saw a screenshot of her return. (looking it up now) It was $539. The sad part: she didn't think anything of it, and thought that's how it was. The reason for the screenshot is because last year, her daughter's dad basically stole her child tax credit. So she was celebrating getting her return accepted before he could pull the same thing. For reference, her return was also five figures. I'm guessing these companies aim for a % of the total return. So perhaps a "$149" upgrade was $249 because of her return size. Like how online retailers bump up the price for goods based on zip code. I'm speculating though.
