Paid for e file on state but now want to mail instead, avoiding the $40 charge. Is there a refund

[CarissaM]

No. The fee for the state return is a charge to prepare your return using the Turbo Tax software. The e-filing is free. 

The fee is there whether you e-file or print your return and file by mail.

Well then I will need to hunt for other options as $80 is too costly just to file taxes. 

good info

If you switch to Free File you must create a new account and new user ID.
