normally, the federal return is free e-file, state return filing has been 19.99 for many, many years.

Lots of people get confused by this--because they do not read the fine print. You got the software to prepare a state return. There is an extra fee to e-file the state. Until about early March it will be $19.99 to e-file a state return using desktop software, then it will go up to $24.99. You can avoid paying the fee if you print sign and mail the state return instead.

@apuerta21

If you have a form that is still not available, it could be the main return or 1 of the forms inside your state return. Please check your state in this link: State Forms Availability
