@jqjyjohnma Are you asking about the CA state efile fee? Only New York is free to efile. All other state returns including the first one are each $20 early/$25 (after March 1st) to efile.
As long as you don't download and install the New York program it won't charge you for another state PROGRAM. You get 1 free State PROGRAM download but not a free state efile (except NY is free to efile).
