    If you are using TurboTax Premier Desktop (CD/Download), there is one free state tax preparation download.  There is, however, an additional fee to e-file your state return.  You can print and mail for no additional charge.

    This is one of the most commonly misunderstood pricing things.  You got free state software to prepare a state return.  The $24.99 is to e-file the state return.  You can avoid the e-file fee if you print and mail the state return instead of e-filing it.
