Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Using the TurboTax desktop editions you have 5 free federal tax return e-files included with the program,

There is a state e-file charge which is currently $25 after the March 1 price increase to the standard fee from early filing fee of $20.

The reason you see the $40 charge is that you selected to have the TurboTax fees, which would be the state e-file charge, paid from your federal tax refund instead of paying the fee with a credit or debit card.

Go back and start the File section again and you will come to a screen detailing your charges.  Select to remove the pay with refund fee.  Then pay the $25 state e-file fee with a credit card.

Or if you do not want to pay the fee then select to print and mail the state tax return to avoid the fee.
