No you read something wrong. The state efile fee is in addition to the state program download. You could have bought Deluxe or higher and downloaded a state program for free.
Then each state return (including the first one) is 19.99 to efile, usually goes up to 24.99 March 1. Or you can print and mail state for free. The 19.99 & 24.99 are both to efile. The early 19.99 price expired on March 1.
