I accidentally “ordered” both my federal and state refunds the other day ON THE FREE EDITION before I was completely ready to file and then today I efiled my federal return but my state return couldn’t be filed yet and now that it can I went back to try and file it and it’s trying to charge me $39!

    Here's instructions on Filing Federal and State Returns Separately.

     

    If you step through the File section, you should be able to file your State return for free also.  Wait until your Federal return has been Accepted. 

     

    1. Open your return.
    2. On the Your 2024 federal return was accepted! page, open Your tax returns & documents, and then select 2024.
    3. Select Add a state to reopen your return.
      • Note: If you've already started your state return, you can select Continue your return in the state tax return box.
    4. Select State from the menu.
    5. On the Let's get your state taxes done right screen, select Continue and follow the instructions.
