I was supposed to get one free state tax.  How come I am being billed a $25 filing fee?

    E-filing fee in desktop software

    Did you purchase desktop software with state software included?  They sell Deluxe both with and without state software--so you have to be careful which one you choose.  And even if it does have the state software download included, that is for preparing the state.  There is an extra fee to e-file the state.  You can avoid the state e-file fee if you print and mail the state instead of e-filing it.

    I purchased Premier desktop with state included.  It was supposed to have 1 state tax for free.  This did not happen.  I had to pay $25.

    I had previously sent a message and it keeps coming back as undeliverable, so I  assume this will as well.

    Obviously, you are not interested in feedback.
