You can make your request with Customer Support.  Use the word ”billing” instead of the word “refund.”

There is no efile fee of any kind when using the Online program ... the fee was for the use of the program to complete a return that can be filed even if it must be mailed in ... at no time was a successful efiling guaranteed.

I used Turbo tax CD. Since I need to file Form 4852, the Franchise Tax Board requires me to submit my return by mail. I already paid my State e-file fee. I have been trying to get my credit card payment back to me. It appears that all the answers going back to the preset website link.

I just e-filed my federal and state (NJ) taxes and I was charged $25 for the state e-filing.   When I purchased Turbotax I had the understanding that one state e-filing would be free.  Please refund the $25.

I just e-filed my federal and state (NJ) taxes and I was charged $25 for the state e-filing.   Due to computer issues I was unable to file on line, had to mail, however, when I purchased Turbotax I had the understanding that one state e-filing would be free.  Please refund the $25.

How did you reach customer support?  I only get a silly link to "Others" opinions and that wont help[p me get a refund.  Where are they?  So hard to reach a person!

Buyer Beware - do not e-file your state taxes. If the filing fails you will not get a refund of your monies. I tried to figure out the problem information it said was incorrect, made changes and tried multiple changes and resent multiple times and it continued to fail. After six times trying I changed the filing to mail in return. There is a disconnect between the IRS the State of CA and TT. It may work for other states but why take that chance. Save your $25.00 and go through the manual process of mailing your state tax returns.

I filed my Taxes yesterday, and was prompted to file State Taxes, which I then completed and filed.

 

However, not realizing I live in Florida and so don't pay State Taxes.

 

Therefore, can you please cancel the State tax filing and refund me the necessary fee that I paid.

 

Many thanks

I'm sorry but, there is no way to cancel a return once it has been transmitted.
