Why am I being charged $25 additional to file my state taxes when one state was included when I purchased Turbo Tax

    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.

    OK, thanks...guess I'm off Turbo Tax next year....deceptive marketing when they advertise free state tax included then charge $25 to file it. Just as easy to use free state provided software and now that I can now longer itemize I might as well use the free stuff for Federal taxes too...Turbo tax is a waste of money now.
