Am I supposed to get a state e filing with my purchased software? If so, why did I have to pay for my Alabama state return e-file? Also, if I was charged unfairly will you issue me a refund?

Most versions of the CD/Download TurboTax software include the software for one state, but not e-filing of the state tax return. With the state software you can print the state tax return and file it by mail, or e-file it for an additional charge.

Thanks for helping me understand.

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.

Thank you for the clarification. I didn't have a proper understanding of the features or what is included.
