Yes this is very confusing. I too have been using it for years and I too have had one FREE efile for state.
This year I did my brothers first and it gave me the option for the free state efile and I said NO, because I was going to use it on my own.
However when I did mine it never gave the option, nor on any subsequent ones.
It seems to be sporadic in giving the free efile. But I paid $19.99 not $24. 99
