I purchased Turbotax Deluxe that included one State e-file. I had my tax returned incomplete at the time my daughter did her taxes. I NEVER used the one free state file. Now my daughter is being charged for using the state e-file. Does she have to pay?
Yes, if she wants to efile the state return. This is a common misconception. In the desktop software that has a state program, it is the state program that is included; i.e., the state software to prepare the state return. Every state return that is efiled has a 24.99 state efile fee (except free for New York State.) There is no fee to print and mail the state returns.
ADDENDUM:
Also see my next comment that I left you below about the additional service fee (39.99 or 44.99) if one chooses the option to pay the 24.99 out of the Federal refund. That fee can be avoided by paying upfront with credit/debit card.
