Cost to e-file

I thought the cost of Turbo Tax 2025 included the cost to e-file the Federal and one state return.  Why was I charged $43.65 to e-file an extra state and $25.00 for each the Federal and one state return?

What version did you buy?  Deluxe comes 2 ways, with a free state program download or without a state.  If you need to buy a state program or buy a second state program for a different state it is $40.  

 

You get 1 free state PROGRAM download to prepare unlimited returns in that state.  Then each state efile (including the first one) is $25 or you can print and mail state for free.
