States (in my case Virginia) are highly encouraging taxpayers to e-file. Safer, get your refund back faster, etc., etc. However, since it is much cheaper to mail it in (even certified mail), why would I pay $25 or more to TurboTax to file my state taxes? If that's the case, maybe the states should lobby TurboTax, et. al., to offer free e-filing, at least for the first state filing.
