Turbo tax says one free state return but I was charged $25 to e-file.

E-filing fee in desktop software

Did you purchase desktop software with state software included? They sell Deluxe both with and without state software--so you have to be careful which one you choose. And even if it does have the state software download included, that is for preparing the state. There is always--always--always an extra fee to e-file the state. Before March 1 that fee is $20; after March 1 it increases to $25. You can avoid the state e-file fee if you print and mail the state instead of e-filing it.

@Lissa2040 Then read the reply above. The software you purchased included the program to prepare the state return. It is an extra fee to e-file the state. Avoid that fee by mailing the state instead.
