why am i being charged for state return when its included when i purchased it lic code [removed lic code]

This is a public forum, so please remove your license code, and change your screen name.  Anyone could call you and pretend to be from TT.

When using TT Desktop, state prep is included, but state efile is extra. You can avoid that by printing and mailing your State return. 

Are you being charged $45 for a state program or the $25 to efile a state return?

 In the Desktop program you get one free state PROGRAM download to prepare unlimited state returns. Then each state return (including the first one) is $20 to efile, usually goes up to $25 March 1. Or you can print and mail state for free.
