In addition, if you use desktop software the state e-filing fee will go from $19.99 to $24.99. Avoid the state e-file fee by printing and mailing the state.
I'm not sure I'm posting in the proper place but this cost increase by Turbo Tax mid tax season is absurd! The cost is already outrageous for a 2nd state ($39.99) but to increase the filing cost from $19.99 to $24.99 is also unfair. I am unable to file my taxes by March 1 as I have to wait for investment tax information which is not scheduled for release until mid March.
The increase costs are another example of a huge corporation taking advantage of taxpayers! I've used TT since the mid 90's - in 2018 I saved my files and when importing only one of my 2 rental properties carried over (yet when I open the return - everything is there). After spending several hours on the phone with TT - I was forced to manually input all the prior years info for that one rental manually.
I will be looking for new software next year - your tax advice is of great help, but your GREED is unacceptable.
You might notice if you explore that the mid-season fee increases are widespread over the tax prep business--they are not limited to TurboTax. The early fees are "early discounts" -- and you can lock in the discount if you pay before the increase becomes effective---paying does not file your return--You can pay and wait to to file.
How does one lock in the state e-file fee price of $19.99 before it increases? I realize it's too late to do now, but want to know for future reference. I'm using the desktop version of Turbotax Deluxe and I thought it was not possible to lock in the fee price until being ready to e-file.
I really wanted to file before March, but had to wait until Turbotax fixed a bug in the program that prevented me from finishing the state return. They only provided the update that fixed this bug after March 1.

In order to receive the discounted price, you have to file your return before the deadline. This year, it ended on 2/28/21.
Why is it $50 on 3/11/21 for each state I have 2. I will not be using turbo tax next year.
Yes sorry. The early prices expired on March 1. In the Online version you pay for each state return. See the prices here. Click on State Additional under the price.
