While doing my OHIO State Taxes the software kept saying that it would e-File the Federal return for free and it would cost $19.99 to e-File my State return.

When I get to the section for actually filing and it collects all my billing information it then presents me a page saying I am being charged $24.99 + tax for filing my Ohio State return.
 
ALL advertising I have seen states the charge as $19.99 .......... so why the $5.00 add-on ??

    Sorry the early discounted prices expired on Feb 29.  March 1 there was a price increase.  The CD box says prices are subject to change.  The prices always change around March 1.  So I try to file before then.

    It also says on the back of my CD case in the comparison chart....

    1 state product via download (print free  or efile for $19.99 each) prices subject to change without notice.
