Did you buy the Desktop CD/Download program? You are posting from Online version.

If you already started in the Online version you can move your return to the Desktop program even without paying for Online.

First download the .tax file from the Online version,

Or if you are using the Online version. The fees are to prepare the returns whether you efile or print and mail. Deluxe is $39 for federal. State is a separate $39. And if you want the fees deducted from your refund there is another Extra $40 Refund Processing Service charge (45 in California). So pay upfront with a credit card to avoid the extra charge.

Oh, to not pay for state you can delete it. How to delete the state,
