I purchased TurboTax & it stated free efile for state but now its charging $25

It sounds like you purchased the retail version of the federal and state together. If so, then the federal return is e-filed for free but to e-file the state return there is a $25 filing fee. But you can print the state return and mail it in for only the postage cost.

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 $25 fee to e-file the state.  You can avoid the state e-file fee if you print and mail the state instead of e-filing it.
