Why am I being charged $50 to file state taxes?

I decided to upgrade to premier for $90, then get the honor of paying an additional $50 to transfer over some forms to file state taxes.  Meanwhile, there is an option to do it all for free.  Makes no sense what so ever.  I would gladly re-enter the information to save myself $50.  Not to mention, every 3 pages Turbo Tax is trying to upsell me again and again on the "Tax Package" I decided to get, even after I went with premier.  Not a good look Turbo Tax.  Extremely annoying to say the least.

Just to throw this out there too...  I called to ask about this. Their response was “make a new username and file state taxes separately using the free version”. Really?  I never go through the trouble of writing “negative reviews”, but really Turbo Tax if you read this, this is pretty absurd.

You are paying for the use of the software to do the state return.
