State tax filing

Using the TurboTax desktop CD/Download editions each state tax return e-filed has a $20 e-file charge (except for New York state returns).  This charge can be avoided by printing and mailing the state return.

There are 5 free federal return e-files included with the desktop editions.  But not for the state returns e-filed.

Note that the e-file charge for an e-filed state return will increase to $25 on March 1.
