Usually when I e-file my state taxes with Turbo Tax, I receive a refund and have to pay for Direct Deposit. I'm not getting a refund and I don't owe anything. Turbo tax shows I have to pay $25.00? I can't change it!
Can anyone help?

In the desktop software (CD/download), there is a $25 state efiling fee except for New York state. There is no fee if you want to print and mail the return instead.
NOTE: You said you don't have a refund, so I mention this for anyone else who sees the thread. It's best to pay the fee by credit/debit card. If you choose to pay it out of the Federal refund, there is an additional $40 service fee ($45 for California filers.)
Thank you!

You're welcome. BTW, there is never a fee for direct deposit. Direct deposit is a free service provided by the IRS. If you had a fee in the past, it was for something else--likely the state efile fee plus or minus the service fee if you chose to pay the $25 out of your Federal refund.
You can avoid the state e-file fee if you choose to print and mail the state return instead of e-filing it.
