When you use online TurboTax, you pay separate fees for federal and state returns.

 

 

How can I see my TurboTax  fees?

You could try going to your state's tax website and prepare a state return there.  You will need information from your federal return.

I am wondering the same thing I filed my federal taxes and paid $39 to have it directly deposited into my account then I filed the state taxes with TurboTax and then they want to charge me $64 to submit them. It does seem wrong.

Did you pay for your state return when you filed your federal and now you're being charged again?

No  I did not file when I filed my federal . I went back later to file because I couldn’t find where to file my state taxes and decided just to use TurboTax.

As per this help article:

 

The TurboTax state program is designed to transfer information from your federal return. For this reason, TurboTax state isn't sold as a standalone tax-preparation product.

You can use TurboTax to prepare and file your federal return without your state—but not the other way around.

If you already filed your federal return outside of TurboTax and just need to do your state, you can either:

  1. Contact your State Department of Revenue or visit their website to use their tax-filing service or download and print out their tax forms, or
  2. Re-create your federal return in the TurboTax software or TurboTax Online without filing it so you can prepare and file your state return using TurboTax
    • You'll need to print and mail your state return, as state returns can't be e-filed on their own.

The first option is free; the second option requires paying for both federal and state returns, even though you won't be filing your federal.
