What are the fees for state filing?

[Omieurhomie]

Just PRINT your tax reform and mail it for free. It is pure greed to charge $25 on top of purchasing the software, plus the state software. Come on - hiring a tax accountant would be cheaper than doing all this, and you wouldn't have to fill out anything yourself.

TurboTax lost me as customer as well. These additional fees are ridiculous.

I just filed and the application said that State E-Filing was $19.99.  (That was after TT went out to check for updates!). When I got to their internal site to pay.....it's $24.99.  I have to agree this is getting to be BS.  I've been a long time user (20+ yrs) and I no longer find it user friendly.  WTF, if they  can't even update the pricing what else is wrong!

Bye TT!

What is the 2021 state e-file fee when using the desktop Turbotax Premier App? Federal e-file is free with Premier. State e-file has an Intuit fee.

The e-file cost can change throughout the season. You will see the current price to e-file your return when you select e-file your state return under the File menu. Or you can choose to file by mail to avoid the fee.

I purchased Turbo Tax Deluxe and it was my understanding that the first state tax return e-filed would be free of charge. I did two tax returns (mine and my brother's) and was charged for both. Is this correct or should I get a refund of the cost for one of them?

Using the TurboTax desktop CD/Download editions there is one free state program download included in the purchase price for the Deluxe edition or higher. 

There is not a free state e-file.  The state e-file fee is currently $25 for each state tax return e-filed.  This fee can be avoided by printing and mailing the state tax return.

@rmarchone When you use the CD/download you get the software to prepare a state return.   There is an additional fee to e-file a state return --even the first one.   You can avoid the state e-file fee by printing and mailing the state return instead of e-filing it.
