I paid twice for my Arizona State Tax E-file. Can I get a refund for it?

I did e file for my friend's state taxes, one for California and another for Arizona. I paid $25 for each state. How come I was still charged for another $48.45 for Arizona State filing?

You got 1 free state PROGRAM download, probably California.  Then you had to buy the second other state program Arizona for $45.   Then each state efile (including the first one) is $25 to efile or you can print and mail state for free.   Looks like your charges are right.

Does this explain it?

It sounds like you used desktop software.   If your desktop product included 1 state program, then there is another $45 to download a second state program.   Then there is a $25 state efile fee for each state return (except no state efile fee for NY).
