How do I delete the electronic filing of my state tax return? I always print it out and mail it in order to eliminate the state tax electronic filing charge.

How do I delete my state tax return filing to reduce the cost?

You want to print and mail the state return.

 

  1. Open your return in TurboTax Online by selecting Continue or Pick up where you left off.
  2. Select File in the menu.
  3. You'll see 3 steps. Complete Steps 1 and 2 if you haven’t already, then select Start or Revisit next to Step 3.
  4. On the We've determined the easiest way to file your taxes screen, select Change next to the return you want to file by mail, and select File by mail on the next screen. Be sure to Save.
  5. Update the payment method for your TurboTax fees for all of the tax returns you wish to file by mail.
  6. Follow the instructions to print your return(s). If you haven't already paid any outstanding TurboTax fees, you'll be prompted to do so before you can print.

If you just need the mailing address: See the filing instructions document that prints out with the paper copy of your return. You'll see the mailing address in those instructions. For your federal return, you can also look it up at this IRS website.

Sounds like you used the Desktop program before.   If you are using the Online version this year yes it is different.  In the Online version you have to pay the fees whether you efile or print and mail.  The Online fees are to  prepare the returns.  Efiling is free.     You can delete the state not to pay for it.  You can add it back again later if you want.
