Using TurboTax Business which I thought allows a free state e-file option. However, I am being prompted to pay $24.99 to e-file the state return. Am I missing something here?  I can mail it in but I thought one e-file state return was included.

The TurboTax Business includes 1 state download, but the e-file is a fee. 

If you choose to mail the return in, you can avoid paying the e-file fee.

I purchased on a Home and Business software. I have done this for many years. Now Turbo Tax wants to charge me to download my state. Why? Don't I receive one state download?

E-filing fee in desktop software

 

Did you purchase desktop software with state software included?    And even if it does have the state software download included, that is for preparing the state.  There is an extra fee to e-file the state.  You can avoid the state e-file fee if you print and mail the state instead of e-filing it.
