how do i avoid the $40 charge on my MD state tax return ?

Are you using the Online web version or the Desktop program? In the Desktop program it is $25 to efile a state return. Then if you want the fee deducted from your federal refund there is an extra $40 refund processing service charge which you can avoid by paying with a credit card. Go back though the FILE tab slowly and watch what you click on. There is one screen that can trip you up.
