The charge is to e-file. If you print and mail in your return there is no charge.

You are correct, the program you purchased at Costco includes one (1) state. That is program that prepares the state return. You could have printed and mailed your state return or no additional charge; however, you chose to e-file your return and agreed to pay $19.99 to do so.

Thanks for the information. It was not clear that I could split Fed/ST and/or snail mail. I may as well do the whole tax return myself and save using TurboTax at all.

Thank you again.
