I always e-file the Federal and mail the state for the cost of postage. Done this for years. State e-fileing from the CD/download versions has NEVER been free (except New York). Also beware that there two versions of the Deluxe CD, one with free state *software* and one without that is cheaper if you do not file a state return.
