My turbotax software says that you will charge me $20 plus tax for state efile but your website says they are charging me $25 plus tax. Did you just steal $5 from me?!?

    Those fees increased on March 1, along with the increased fees in online software.

    I could have E-filed before March 1 and saved $5. You did not notify me of any price increase.

    Would you please credit me with the $5.

    No one in the user forum can resolve a billing issue.  If you have a question about your TurboTax fees or billing, make sure you use the word “billing” in your request for help.  Do not use the word “refund.”

    @marksandbach2  We cannot see your account or return in this public forum to be able to give a specific answer to your question.  You should have an explanation why the return cannot file.  If you attempt to resolve the e-file diagnostic and for some reason cannot, you can mail in the return.  

     

    If you need someone who can do a screen share to look at the issue specifically, please call in this experience to our phone customer support service by using the instructions in the following link: How do I contact TurboTax?

    Every March the early prices expire and increase.  In the Desktop CD/Download program the State Efile fee is $20 but increases to 25.

     

    But there will be a delay in Desktop program between March 1 when the price goes up and the next time the program update comes out, usually on Thursdays.  It will show the $20 efile price but you be charged 25.

    After state return never filing I went to state site & filed just fine...and no filing fee!

    Yes they are stealing the extra $5 from you and the rest of us. I couldn't E-File before March 1 because TurboTax didn't have Form 1116 (Foreign Tax Credit), even though Form 1116 has been available from the IRS for a month. I waited until March 3 for the TurboTax update which included the necessary Form 1116. Surprise! The price goes up on March 1. This is shameful on Intuit's part, though sadly continues a long-standing trend.
