Get your taxes done using TurboTax
You are posting your question from a paid version (online "Live Basic") of the software. When you use a paid version you pay separate fees for federal and state. Your fee for the state is the same whether you e-file it or mail it in an envelope. The fee is not for e-filing---it is for using the software---and in your case--for using "Live" tax expert help.

- Remove PLUS Help & Support
