I thought it said that 1 state return was free. Why did you charge me $20 for the state return?

The CD/download gives you the software to prepare returns for one specific state, When you use desktop software, there is an additional fee to e-file a state return. You can avoid that fee if you print, sign and mail the state return. The state e-file fee is $19.99 and increases in March.

If you purchased the Deluxe desktop CD/Download edition or higher the purchase price included one free state program download. It does Not include one free state tax return e-filing.

The current e-file charge for state tax return using the desktop editions is $20. There will be a price increase on March 1 to $25. The e-file charge can be avoided by printing and mailing the state tax return.

My understanding is that the software to prepare the state return is free. Also, you get a free efile for the Federal return but must pay $20 to efile the state return.
