desktop premier version final filing asking for paayment

You read the screens a lot more carefully and you pay your state e-file fee of $25 using a credit or debit card instead of paying it from your federal refund---which is what that  extra $40 "processing fee" would be for.   Or...file your state return by mail and avoid the state e-file fee altogether. 

Thanks.  The TT screen is clear as mud in what it is charging you for.  I was expecting to pay the state fee from direct debit, as that was already set up for the state tax payment already. 

I don't think TT team does nearly an adequate job at at their UI.  Sigh, probably the last time I use TT as they have not made it easier over the years.
