That's not sales tax...that is the State E-file fee for people using the Desktop software
(though, Not Applicable for NY state tax filings )
It has always increased from $20 to $25 on ~ 1 March. (OK, at least last 10 years or so)
Seems simple, but Unfortunately, TTX hasn't figured out how to make that date-dependent in the software. I expect it will show properly in this week's software update (usually Wed or Thurs night), but that's too late a notice for anyone filing on March 1 and 2 .
