The $44.99 is for the state software program. If you wish to e-file it through TT, you'll have to first pay for the program itself.
Many state departments of revenue offer free e-filing through their website. But you'll have to have the know-how to prepare your state return without the TurboTax transfer of your federal info into the state return. See the link below to reach your state DOR.

Did you already e-file your federal return? You would have paid for the federal tax prep in order to print or e-file it.
