hmm, is this also true for TurboTax free version?
No, there is no state efile fee in the Online Free Edition. All the comments above in this thread are about your desktop version. I'll add "desktop version" to my comment above.
The Free Edition has no fee to prepare or efile Federal and State--IF one qualifies to use it. It is only for simple returns. Here's some info about Free Edition. Your child would need his/her own Intuit Account.

If there are situations or certain income items that can't be prepared in Free Edition, it would prompt an upgrade to a paid Online edition. If that were to happen, then in Online Deluxe the fee would be $59 for Federal and $59 for State (fees may increase April1)--a lot more expensive than your desktop version. If an upgrade were necessary, however, we can tell you how to download the *.tax2023 data file and continue it in your desktop software and file from there instead. Or he/she could just start over in your desktop program.
