There is no charge for e-filing with online. The charge is for the use of the software and is the same whether you e-file or not.
A state will always reject if the Federal rejects.
You can fix the reason for the Federal reject and refile. The most common reject is AGI mismatch.
See this TurboTax FAQ on how to find your AGI

If you filed late last year there is a good chance that the 2019 AGI never was entered into the e-file database. Try using 0 (zero) for the AGI.
If you filed an amended return use the AGI on the first filed tax return.
If it continues to reject then the AGI in the IRS database might be in error. Mail filing is the only option.
