If you choose to pay a state efile fee out of your Federal refund, there is an
additional fee for that payment option--39.99 for non-California filers,
and 44.99 for California filers. Are you a California filer and used
that payment option? TurboTax may refer to it as "Premium Services" for
44.99.
You can remove the "pay-out-of-refund" method (Premium
Services in Calfornia) and pay the 19.99 state efile fee upfront by credit/debit card
or a prepaid debit card you can buy in a store.
Also, if you don't want to pay the 19.99 state efile fee, you can print, sign, and mail the state return for free.
I purchased Turbo Tax Deluxe with state returns. Why the charge?
I thought there is no charge allowed for E filing the NY state return

I've revised this answer. I found your other comment where you said you purchased "Turbo Tax Deluxe with state returns", so I'll assume that's the desktop software (CD/download). See the additional info I added below.
***********************************
In Online TurboTax, there is a fee to prepare the NY state return, but no fee to efile it. All efiling in the Online editions is free.
In the desktop software (CD/download), there is no fee to efile a NY state return. The state efiling fee is only for other states.
What are you experiencing? If you are using desktop software and were still charged an efile fee of 24.99 for the NY state return, here's how to speak to TurboTax Support:
You can use this contact form to get a phone number and incident number. Be sure to indicate in the dropdown list that you are using the CD/download version.

I am trying to pay the efile fee by credit card, the screen says to select continue but nothing happens. It won't let me go forward to input credit card information.
@kbarnes0701 Try closing out of TurboTax and clear your cache and delete cookies. Then sign back into your TurboTax account. If that does not work, try a different browser. You may also want to try a compete a disk cleanup and restart your computer. Then sign back in and resume to the payment screen.
Please reach out to us if you need further assistance.
