You do not mention where you purchased the CD/download. I have not seen anything about an offer for a credit toward the state e-filing fee. Usually with the CD/download it is $20 to e-file a state return and the fee increases to $25 after March 1. I avoid the state e-file fee altogether by printing and mailing the state returns.
I suspect the discount will kick in when you can actually e-file. Did the packaging contain any sort of promo code for the discount?
