Are you using the CD/download software? When you use the CD/download there is a $25 fee to e-file a state return, which you can avoid if you print and mail the state instead. But a fee of $250? That is very unlikely---did you add a lot of other features like some additional state programs, audit defense...? I cannot imagine running up $250 for additional fees in desktop software.
Or......did you purchase the CD/download and then use online by accident? That could result in being asked to pay.
We see people get confused and they keep logging in to online software which will require them to pay at the end. You need to use the desktop software. One way to tell if you are using the right software---your tool bar. Online software has the toolbar in a black vertical column on the left side of the screen. Desktop software has the tools up on the top of your TT screen.
If you are using online, you are using the wrong program. You need to switch to the desktop software to get what you paid for. You have to download it, update it and open it up from your own hard drive to use it.
