To avoid that extra state fee, I just print the forms and enter them for free in my state free tax filing website. Or at least that's what I had done in the past. I prefer to keep my free state for my taxes. However, doing my daughter's it's asking if I want to use my free state for her (which I don't). Maybe I just paid the separate fee last year. Hers are so simple. I think I'll just enter them on the state site for free like I have in the past.
