It probably thinks you want to efile a state return. OR you might be in the Online version instead of the Desktop program. Are the menu tabs going down the left side in a black or grey bar? That is Online. The Desktop program has the menu going across the top in a blue bar.
Did you get the Desktop program installed and Activated with the 16 digit License Code? The only fee in the Desktop program would be the $25 to efile a state return or you can print and mail state for free. You can pay the state efile fee upfront with a credit card or have it deducted from a refund for an Extra $40 Refund Processing Service charge (45 in California).
