I reply this thread, of couse it is the premium bundle thing. why I chose to pay 24.99? there is no option. I use Home&Biz PC version, I already payed it, and it should suppose to support one federal and one state efile, why should I pay extra?
There is no option to selec from FILE menu for me, I guess it is different between different version.
When I mentioned the FILE section above, I wasn't talking about the File menu in the top left corner of the TurboTax interface. I was talking about the FILE tab--the tab you use to select a filing method, to pay, and to transmit the return. The Home and Business Edition has a FILE tab just like all the other editions. See this image:

When you go far enough through the screens in the FILE tab, it will eventually ask you how you want to pay the 24.99 state efile fee. I believe it's a screen that will have 2 buttons: one button saying "pay by credit/debit card," and the other button saying "pay out of the Federal refund" or similar words, and that's where the choice is made.
If you choose to pay the 24.99 state efile fee by credit/debit card then you won't be charged for Premium Services. If you choose to pay the 24.99 fee out of your Federal refund, however, then if you are a California filer, it will charge you an additional $45 for Premium Services (in addition to the 24.99 state efile fee.)
You asked: "I use Home&Biz PC version, I already payed it, and it should suppose to support one federal and one state efile, why should I pay extra?"
That's a common misconception. The desktop version allows 5 free Federal efiles, but it does not include a free state efile. What is included is the 1 state program to prepare the state returns. But there is a 24.99 fee to efile each state return (except no state efile fee for New York state.) There is also no fee to print and mail the state return, so you can avoid the 24.99 fee that way, if you wish.
