Purchased TurboTax Deluxe Desktop Edition 2025

I purchased TurboTax Deluxe Desktop Edition 2025, and it is asking me to pay an additional $40 to complete my state taxes. Is this correct or do I need to do something special? In the past, state was included.

Thanks,

Chris

Where did you purchase the software? Some retailers sell Deluxe for only federal without a state return, and then if you need to file a state return you have to pay the extra $40 to download a state program. Look closely at what you purchased.

When you are in the File section of the program and going through the screens for e-filing the state tax return, there is a $25 state e-file fees. You landed on a screen asking you how you want to pay for this charge, either with a credit card or with your federal tax refund. If you chose the federal refund, there is a $40 service charge for this option. If you do not want this $40 fee then you need to start the File section again, go through the screens until you are back on the screen for paying the e-file fee. Choose Pay with a Credit Card.
