So, the original question was "WHY am I being charged to e-file the state return?"
Who charges this fee? Is it Turbo Tax? Is it the state? Where is this money going?
WHY is it included to efile the federal, but there is a charge to efile the state???
I always mail mine in to avoid this fee, but as many others have stated- this is regressive in this day and age, and wasteful of paper, etc.
