You are using the CD/download. Your software included the federal and one state software program to PREPARE a state return. There is an extra fee if you e-file the state. You can avoid that state e-file fee if you print and mail the state return instead of e-filing the state. If you fall into the trap of paying for that $25 state e-file fee of $25 with your federal refund, you will also be agreeing to an extra "refund processing fee" of $40 to have that fee taken out of your refund by a third party bank.
I suggest mailing your state return to avoid the whole mess. On the screen where you can choose how to file you can click to only e-file the federal and then later you can print and mail the state for the cost of a stamp.
If you really want to go ahead and e-file the state and pay the $25 state e-file fee----pay that upfront using a credit or debit card instead of agreeing to have it taken out of your federal refund---unless you do not mind paying a whopping total of $65 just to e-file the state return.
