I have the TurboTax Deluxe version... I was able to complete my Federal return and ready to e-file with no problems. However, when attempting to complete the state I was led to believe it would cost $45 to prepare and send the state return for my state... so I purchased the state option to file both at the same time. NOW I'm seeing an additional charge of $25 to e-file the state return and feel like I've been misled and tricked!!! What is the purpose of paying $45 for state filing if it can't be e-filed with my Federal return? Looks like this will be my first and last time using TurboTax for my tax needs...
Did you purchase desktop software with state software included? They sell Deluxe both with and without state software--so you have to be careful which one you choose. And even if it does have the state software download included, that is for preparing the state. There is an extra fee to e-file the state. You can avoid the $24.99 state e-file fee if you print and mail the state instead of e-filing it.
