TurboTax 2024 charged me for State eFile even though product was purchased specifically said FREE State eFile. Is that legal?

[Doc17]

Purchased deluxe version of TurboTax which comes with Federal eFiles as usual, but this version also came with a Free State eFile. Said so. Prepared returns, went for eFile - no hints that efile would cost extra. Final step, State eFile hit paywall.  Product purchased clearly said Free State and Intuit/TurboTax reneged on that promise.  So how do you justify this.

Understand, we will not trust Intuit or TurboTax again.

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 an extra $25 fee to e-file the state.  You can avoid the state e-file fee if you print and mail the state instead of e-filing it.
