If folks are worried about $25 for state e-file they should be using TT desktop not online which I believe is cheaper and doesn't vary with all these different forms needed, especially if you buy it early in tax season when the s/w is generally discounted; or not using TT at all. Given the first state with desktop is free I'm paying $25 to do my state taxes. The e-file may be 'free' but it's not like they are ripping anyone off (on this at least), they have to develop and maintain the software for every state which all have different tax laws. I usually get my taxes done for about $100-125 all-in, it's fine.
