I'm now filing my 2019 return in 2020 and the same is happening.  In TurboTax it says the fee is 19.99 but when go through the payment processing it shows the amount I'll be charged is 24.99.  It is confusing when you see one amount in the app and a different amount in payment processing.

Hi, I was given a price of $19.99 to e-file but then it charged my card $24.99.  How do I get my $5 back?

There is always a price increase in March. The early discounted prices expired on March 1. The state efile fee went from 19.99 to 24.99 every year.

There is a delay in the Desktop program from when the prices increases on March 1 until the program update comes out the next Thursday. It will show the old prices so be sure to update your program, go up to Online- Check for Updates.

Box says Federal Returns & Federal E-File plus State returns. It does not say state efiling is included. It also says on the back on my CD case in the chart comparing the versions - 1 state product via download (print free or efile for $19.99 each) prices subject to change without notice.
