It looks like you are on a Mac. And it sounds like you are using desktop software that is saying you have to pay $24.99 to e-file your state return.  You can print the state and mail it instead.  When you go through the file section, go ahead with e-filing federal, but "un-check" e-filing for the state.   When you are ready, just go up near your little "apple" on the top of your screen--go to the right a little and click File, and then Print--it will show you the returns you have.  Choose the state return and print it.  And save $25!
