Sounds like you used the Desktop program before. If you are using the Online version this year yes it is different. In the Online version you have to pay the fees whether you efile or print and mail. The Online fees are to prepare the returns. Efiling is free. You can delete the state not to pay for it. You can add it back again later if you want.
