    We cannot tell what software you are using.  If you are using online you have to pay the same fee for each state whether you e-file or print and mail it.  The fee is for using the software.  Each state is a separate fee.

     

    If you are using desktop software that included one state program, any additional states are an extra fee of $45 per state program.   And....you can print and mail them for the cost of a stamp, but with desktop software there will always be an extra fee to e-file a state return---even for the first one.

    I am using Desktop TurboTax Deluxe software. I have always used it and never had to pay to do them only if I wanted to e-file them.

    If you download a second state program you have to pay for it.   How many state programs have you downloaded?
