I purchased the Deluxe version, entered the appropriate code before I entered any information. When I got to the end I was notified I needed to spend $19.99 to file my Virginia tax. I did not use the free copy, why do I have to pay to file my state tax when the box states that state tax is included? Is that just a scam? Does it mean the tax forms are included but I have to pay a fee to file? Explain, please.
That is correct.
