Is State only free if you mail the forms in yourself?

[User1001]

I have Turbo Tax Deluxe Federal + State.  I already E-Filed my State return and was charged $20. Would it have been free if I would have mailed the state taxes in instead of e-filing?

Yes in the  Desktop program.  In the Desktop program you get one free state PROGRAM download to prepare unlimited state returns. Then each state return (including the first one) is $20 to efile, usually goes up to 25 March 1. Or you can print and mail state for free.
