If you are using online software you pay separate fees for federal and state returns. Your fee is not based on whether you are getting a refund or how much the refund will be--it is based on which version of the software you used. The fee for using online is the same whether you e-file or file by mail.
If you are using desktop download software there is a $25 state e-file fee which you can avoid if you print and mail the state.
