The included state is for the state software, not for efiling. Some desktop products include a state program download to prepare a state return. But there is a 19.99 state efile fee (except free for New York state) if one chooses to efile the state return. The fee usually changes to 24.99 in March.
There is no fee to print and mail the state returns.
Or did Premier try to charge you for the included state program download?
