In Online Deluxe, the Federal return is $60 and a state return is $50.   If you choose to pay those fees out of your Federal refund, there is an additional $40 service fee ($45 for California filers.)   You avoid that latter service fee by paying upfront with credit/debit card or a prepaid debit card you can buy in a store.

 

It's not clear what you are wanting to do.  Do you not want the state return?

 

Also see the detailed info DoninGA left you below.

There is no charge to "bundle" anything.  The TurboTax account fees for the Deluxe online edition is $60.  The state program is an additional charge of $50 when used with the Deluxe edition or higher.

The Federal tax refund and the State tax refund are sent to and processed by two separate tax authorities.  The tax refunds are processed, Approved and sent at different times based on the procedures of the IRS for a federal refund and the State for a state refund.

If you have not paid for the online edition you are using, have not filed your tax return or registered the Free edition, then you can clear your return and start over with a lower priced edition. Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the program screen while working on the 2019 online tax return. Click on Clear & Start Over.
