I bought turbo premier online which included one state tax for prepare and print. I do not want to e file but it won't let me print out unless I pay for an e file. How do I print it out?

    When you use online software you are not paying an extra fee to e-file.   You are paying to use the software to prepare your tax return.  Your fee is the same whether you e-file the return or print it and mail it in.   You cannot print a return you prepared using online software unless you pay for the use of the software.

    The description said my $119   INCLUDES 1 STATE VIA DOWNLOAD . So I have to pay another $49  just to print it?

    @45191 Wait a minute---you said you used online software.   Now you say you used the CD/download.   If you used the CD/download then your software included the program to prepare a state return.  But with the CD/download there is a fee to e-file the state return.  That fee is $25.   If you want to avoid the state e-file file with the desktop software you can print and mail the state return.   Not sure where you are seeing $49 but be careful----it will offer you the chance to have your $25 e-file fee deducted from your federal refund and then you also get socked with a "refund processing fee" of $40 by the third party bank.   Do not do that.  Print and mail your state.
