WHY IS TURBO TAX CHARGING ME 24.99 TO E-FILE THE STATE RETURN?

    Best answer by DoninGA

    The state e-file fee of $24.99 is when using any of the TurboTax desktop CD/Download editions.  This fee can be avoided by printing and mailing the state tax return.

     

    When purchasing one of the TurboTax desktop editions of Deluxe or higher, one free state program download is included in the purchase price.  This does Not include a free state tax return e-filing.

    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 an extra fee to e-file the state.  You can avoid the $24.99 state e-file fee if you print and mail the state instead of e-filing it.
