Why is the cost to file 69.98 i don"t understand if fed is free why am i getting charged 39.99 on top of the 29.99 filing fee for my stste taxes

That is the extra 39.99 Refund Processing Service charge to have the fee deducted from your federal refund. You can avoid that by paying the 29.99 fee with a credit card. You can remove it.
