Why am I being charge 50$ to file my state tax form?

State is currently only $40.  State is extra in all versions except the Free Edition.  Also you are posting from Live.  Live is a much higher cost.

There are no e-file fees when using the TurboTax online editions, federal or state. 

There is an additional charge if you include a state tax return when using the Deluxe online edition or higher, currently $40 for each state tax return.

Extremely annoying.  I upgrade for $90, then get the honor of paying an addition $50 to transfer a few documents over to state taxes.  Meanwhile, there is a free option to do so.  Thanks Turbo Tax.  Upgrade seems totally worth it.

Had this same issue... Paid $90 for premiere just to get slapped with a $50 state fee WHEN IT COST NOTHING on the free edition! Milking us dry

I paid $60 for the turbo tax, but also got a $50 charge for my South Carolina state tax. why?

$60 is for Deluxe Federal.  Then state is another $50 in Deluxe and above.

I use the Turbo tax Home and Business, I can get one free state tax, however when I went to file the Indiana, they wanted to deduct $40.00 from my federal return or have me pay with a CC, I chose to mail the state in, since the refund was only $6, makes no sense.

You receive one free state program download with the Home & Business edition.  Not a free state e-file.  The state e-file fee is currently $20, so printing and mailing the state return was a wise choice.  Also, the $40 charge would have been if you wanted to pay the TurboTax state e-file fee with your federal tax refund.  Again, another wise choice for not choosing that option.

And to be clear it was an extra $40 to take the $20 state efile fee out of a federal refund.  So $60 total.  Or $20 by credit card or free to print and mail state.

I paid $60 for Deluxe (without state), about what I pay for Deluxe with state each year purchased from Sam's Club. The only way to get state is to pony up $40 in the program. I've never efiled my state tax after doing it on TurboTax Deluxe in the past. $100 for fed and state = ripoff, especially when the fact there is no state include  is in the fine print. Don't call it Deluxe if it doesn't match the website description.

Apparently not true for some "Deluxe" products.
