Hi, I am using TT Premier desktop version and when I try to e-file my state (California) is showing a filing fee of $200 when it is advertised in TT website to be $20. I do not remember that past years I paid anything close to $200. Anyone have a clue on what’s wrong here? Thanks!

    @Mahergo   And it looks like you selected to have the fees deducted from your federal refund?  That may make a difference in the display.  Try paying with a credit card.  And you will avoid the extra $45 Audit Defense charge (unless you wanted it).

     

    In the California Desktop program to remove Audit Defense and Premium Services you have to change to pay the $20 or 25 state efile fee by credit card and not by having it deducted from your federal refund.  Or print and mail state for free.  Go back through the File tab again and change to pay with a credit card.  Then if Audit Defense is still there you can remove it.

    Gee I wonder if that is a typo on the screen?  A couple years ago there was a big typo like that.  I bet it will charge you right but you better call in and ask.  Start the FILE tab over and go through it again.  Maybe you selected some other services too.  Can you please post a screen shot?  Haven't seen anyone else complain about that  yet.

    Tried to start over the e-filing process and got the same $200. Absurd.
