Users of desktop software always need to be aware of the state e-filing fee. The software may include the program to prepare a state return, but there is a fee to e-file the state. That fee is $20 prior to March 1; as of March 1 it increases to $25. You can avoid the state e-file fee by printing and mailing the state return.
But.....if you choose to pay that $20 from your refund instead of just paying it with a card before you e-file, you have just tripled the cost of e-filing your state return.
