Somebody found a way around the Audit Defense mandatory sign up. Chose to pay by credit card (don't deduct State fee from your Federal refund - this work around won't work if you do...).
First E-file your Federal Return first by itself, and wait, once it is transmitted, E-file your State return.
The Audit Defense sign up will no longer be adding itself in when you file one at a time, and file the Federal first.
