My W2 has income from two states IL and IN. I am IL resident but stayed in IN for 4 Months by rent. I purchased TurboTax Premier from SAMS Club. I was asked to pay additional $45 for IN and $25 each for IL and IN State.

Since TT Premier provides 5 - Federal Returns, why do I have to pay $45 for IN?

TurboTax CD/Download includes one free state. The second state is an added charge.

You can print and mail your state returns for free. However, there is a $25 charge to e-file each state return. That’s why you were charged $45 + $25 + $25.

Thanks for quick response!

I agree that I have to pay $25 for each state; but more precisely my questions is why am I being asked to pay $45 when TT Premier offers 5 Federal Free?

 Thank you

The $25 fee is specifically an e-file fee.  The $45 fee is to purchase the second state package.  You can choose to mail-in your return to save the $25 fees if you wish, but you will pay the $45 fee to purchase the Indiana package if you need an Indiana return.  

The 5 Federal e-filings have nothing to do with these state charges.

Thanks @DanielV01 - I completely understand for state that I have to pay $25 for each state.

What I dont understand is if i have purchased this TT Premier (includes 5 federal e-file) then why am I being charged $45 for Indiana Federal. I am convinced that I have to pay $25 for Indiana State e-file.

I was not asked to pay when I completed Illinois Federal. 

My concern is only about $45 for Indiana Federal that shouldnt have been charged.

Thanks!

Reading your response again means that in addition to $25 for state, I have to pay $45 fee to purchase "the second state package".

I was completely unaware of these charges as I did not find these details being disclosed on the package of the software about $45 (or any different amount based on State if there is any) that will be charged to buy the state package in addition to $25 for state e-file!

In this public forum we are unfortunately unable to address billing issues.  While I do know that there is a $45 charge for a second state, I don't have access to your packaging to show you where this is disclosed on your software purchase.  But please call in this experience to our phone customer support service by using the instructions in the following link: How do I contact TurboTax?  They will be happy to address your concern if you wish to bring it to their attention.
