Why do i have to pay to efile my state return and federal

Using the TurboTax desktop editions there is an e-file charge that is currently $24.99 when e-filing a state tax return.  This charge can be avoided by printing and mailing the state tax return.

There are no e-file fees for a federal tax return.  The desktop editions include 5 free federal e-files.  Any tax returns over 5 have to be printed and mailed.
