Overcharged?

samuelst2021 — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 04:43:23 GMT

I just filed my taxes through Turbo Tax and feel like I was charged quite a bit. I purchased the Deluxe download from Costco. I had to pay $80 for two additional states, which is fine. But then I had to pay an additional $75 to e-file each of the 3 states. Is this how it's supposed to be? Feels like being double-charged to file state returns.

Thanks for any guidance.

Yes sorry. In the Desktop program you get one free state PROGRAM download to prepare unlimited state returns. Then you have to buy the additional state program downloads. Then each state return (including the first one) is $20 to efile, usually goes up to $25 March 1. Or you can print and mail state for free.

Thank you so much for the insight!! Now I know. I just don't recall such high fees last year. Guess that's what I get for waiting until the last minute to file, LOL.
