Free dose not mean free

Why did I pay $59.00 for TurboTax Federal with free state tax filling, then before Turbo tax would e-file I had to pay $24.00?????

I've used TurboTax for many years so I know what they mean in their advertising, but I understand it can be confusing.  The $59 gets you a federal return and free IRS efiling.  It also gets you one state return which you can print out and mail in, or, you can pay the $24 and efile it.

I did not get free free free either.   Marketing BS I guess....
