That $40 fee is a refund processing fee that is charged if you choose to have the state e-filing fee deducted from your federal refund---a third party bank handles that. Don't do it. Pay the state e-file fee upfront using a debit or credit card and avoid the extra $40 fee, or better yet, instead of e-filing the state, print it and mail it for free. You can avoid the state e-file fee with the CD/download if you mail the state instead of e-filing it.
