    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 always---always-- always----an extra fee to e-file the state. Before March 1 that fee is $20; after March 1 it increases to $25.  You can avoid the state e-file fee if you print and mail the state instead of e-filing it.

    Using the TurboTax desktop editions there is a $25 state tax return e-file fee.  This fee was shown in the File section of the program where you select the returns that you wanted to e-file.

    The e-file fee can be avoided by printing and mailing the state tax return.
