Hello - Turbotax did not give me a free state return. It listed my home state of WA as free but I do not need to file state taxes in WA state. I filed in Iowa and and this was charged $25. I will not file in WA and so I need to free filing transferred to my IA state tax filing. I would like Turbotax to refund the $25 +charges to my credit card. Thanks.

Huh? $25?

That sounds like you are using the Desktop software installed on your computer.

For the Desktop software, there is a state e-filing fee of $20-$25...even if you get the state software free. (except for NY Residents)

If you were charged $40-$45 or more for Iowa, that would have been the charge for buying the state software ....and even then there is a separate e-file fee (DESKTOP state software) for $20-$25.....but you can print and mail-file it yourself for no extra charge.

Preparing one state is free but eFile is not. You can print and mail the state to save the eFile fees.
