Question

TurboTax e-filing fees for State is misleading, $25 instead of $20 as mentioned in software

I used TurboTax Premier version to file Federal and State (VA) taxes.  When I was filing, the software showed the e-filing fees for State is $20.

 

When I went ahead and ordered e-filing for State, I get to a billing web page and the fees was $25.

I was really mad, not because of that $5 but because of the low level unethical, bait and switch scheme employed by the nationally known software and company.  

 

If anybody starts a class action lawsuit, just let me know.

    This issue has been corrected with the 09/21/2023 update to the software.

    You would think that since every time you launch turbo tax it forces you do the updates.  The updates should have included changing the fee to $25.

    To e-file the state return, you pay a fee of $20---which increases to $25 on March 1.   You can avoid the state e-file fee if you print and mail the state. TurboTax early bird pricing typically increases on that date.
