    there is an e-file fee for state. it cannot be taken out of your refund.

    Sorry---you cannot have TurboTax fees deducted from a state refund.  It is only possible to have software fees deducted from a federal refund.   If you already filed federal and waited to file your state, then you will need to pay your state fees upfront using a credit or debit card in order to file.

     

    Or delete the state return and try going to your state's tax site to see if you can prepare a state return there for free.

     

    DELETE STATE
