I just finished my 2024 tax returns and was going to e-filed my federal/state return. But Turbotax seems to demand a $250 fee (plus applicable sales tax) just to e-file my California return. This year I've seen the state e-filing fee should be $25. But $250!!!!! Are you kidding me?!!!! Is that any bug????

If you are using the TurboTax desktop editions, the state e-file fee is $25.

Can you give a screenshot of where you are being asked to pay $250 just to e-file the tax return?

This is the what you should see to pay the $25 e-file fee with a credit card -

Are you using the Desktop program? Must be a typo on the screen. A couple years ago there was a typo for that. Haven’t seen any one else reporting that. I got charged the $25 to efile state. Try updating your program, go up to Online-Check for updates. And I would clear your cache and cookies and reboot your computer.

or contact Turbo Tax
