Sorry. But for the desktop software that contains one free state "software"....the State e-file fee is $20-25....(except NY). Been the same fee situation for at least 15 years.
One free state "software" set is allowed to be downloaded and installed & used. A Fee to e-file...or free to print out yourself and mail in at the post office.
The undisclosed State E-file fee that is associated with the CD/download prepaid premium package looks to me like a stealth charge. Borders on the unsavory. Is the fee state-generated or INTUIT-generated? if the latter, it is a stealth charge
I am preparing more than one return for family members for Michigan. Is there a group price for efiling or do I have to pay $24.05 each or mail them in to avoid multiple fees?
No, there is no group discount. You have to pay the fee for each return or mail it in to avoid the e-filing fees.
