Filing fees

[bialerjm]

Why am I charged for e-file state taxes for NC and VA. One is included when I purchased the Turbo Tax CD and the other I paid before doing the return.  Now I am being charged for this again when I want to file our return Why ???

E-filing fee in desktop software

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. Before March 1 that fee is $20; after March 1 it increases to $25.  You can avoid the state e-file fee if you print and mail the state instead of e-filing it.
