@critters62 You must have been using the TurboTax online editions in the past since there is not an e-file charge for either a federal or state return with the online editions. However, the state program when using the Deluxe online edition or higher is an additional charge, currently $50.
When using the TurboTax Deluxe desktop edition or higher there is one free state program download included in the purchase price.
I have been using TurboTax software since 1990. From at least the year 2000 onward there has been an e-file charge for a state tax return when using the TurboTax desktop CD/Download editions.
The current charge for e-filing a state tax return with the desktop editions is $25. This charge can be avoided by printing and mailing the state tax return.
