In my scenario, I purchased a second state for $44, which at that price I would have assumed the efile charge would be included. Was I shocked that I was being charged 24.99 to efile after just spending $44. That's absolutely awful! Can someone confirm that's the way it is or whether I shouldn't have had to pay for the efile?
Unfortunately, every state return efiled in the desktop product has a 24.99 service fee except for New York state. There is no way to efile a state return without paying the fee (except New York). There is no fee, however, to print and mail the state returns. The 44.99 fee is just for the software program to prepare the state return.
