I mean state e-filing.

 

How much is it before the increase (till Feb 29)? How much is it after the increase (on or after March 1)?

 

Thanks.

    The state e-file fee goes from $20 to $25 in March.  You can avoid the state e-file fee by printing and mailing the state return.

     

    And....when it asks if you want to pay the state e-file fee from your federal refund---DO NOT DO THAT.   If you say you will pay from your federal refund, it will add another extra fee of $40 ($45 in CA) to the cost for "refund processing."

    @xmasbaby0 I will never get the fee from refund, regardless if there is extra processing fee. I will use credit card for credit card reward point.

    When trying to print my state prior to extension deadline I was offered an efile instead.

    Trying to efile my state.  It was offering efile today for a discount for $20

    but I could not get it to work.  Someone else said the TurboTax is down today

    and to wait till Monday.  Do you know anything about that?
