sneaky state efile charge increase

I was ready to file as of last week of February. But it kept saying there is some state tax form that needs update and until that happens I cannot file. Come March 1st, magically that issue is resolved and it walks me through the steps of e-filing and tells me that the state e-file charge is $20. But when the page comes up where you enter credit card info magically the charge increased to $25. I later found out that the prices go up on March 1st of every year. How convenient of them to hold me from filing until into March and then add a $5 surcharge for state e-filing. Shame on them

I agree but this is a business and tt is free to charge whatever the traffic will bear. you can always send it in by mail for no extra charge.

The point is not that TT is a business and charge anything. The issue here is more about misleading the consumer - When I am in TT, the fee is shown as $20 - However, when I am transferred to the CC screen, it shows up as $25 - That is the issue
