As you pointed out it says STATE RETURNS, not state efile like on federal. My Home & Business CD package says......Includes 1 State via download (Print free or efile for an additional fee) 3. And footnote 3 says....Early e-filing fee is $20 each. Anticipated fee increase in March 2021.
And FYI -
Every March the early prices expire and increase. In the Desktop CD/Download program the State Efile fee is $20 but increases to 25.
But there will be a delay in Desktop program between March 1 when the price goes up and the next time the program update comes out, usually on Thursdays. It will show the $20 price but you be charged 25.
