Did you purchase desktop software with state software included? They sell Deluxe both with and without state software--so you have to be careful which one you choose. And even if it does have the state software download included, that is for preparing the state. There is an extra fee to e-file the state. You can avoid the $24.99 state e-file fee if you print and mail the state instead of e-filing it.
BUT-----you are posting from online Deluxe----did you accidentally use the wrong program? Instead of using the download software did you log on with an account and user ID and use online TT--if it is charging you more than $24.99 that's a good sign that you made that mistake.
