Why e-file for state? TT Desktop Premier 2020

hi there - 

 

My wife and I are Filing Separate for 2020. We bought TT Desktop Premier software to prepare taxes. 

 

We live in NJ but work in NY, so we have to file in 2 states, so we bought 1 extra state ($40). I already paid $70 for software, $40 for one additional state, and $20 for NJ e-filing for me (since NY is free for e-filing). 

 

I completed my file and paid $20 for NJ e-filing fee as mentioned above. But now I am filing for my Wife, it's asking me to pay $20 more for e-filing for NJ. I thought you get 5 e-filing for Fed and 5 e-filing a state once I paid $20 for NJ once. 

 

 Why is $20 more? I dont understand.

 

thanks
