Does anyone know what the extra charge is to e-file state (for Illinois specifically)?

Efiling a state return using the TurboTax desktop software is $19.99. There is no charge for NY electronic filing. Bob Meighan, VP TurboTax

Yes, you can use it for up to 5 federal e-file returns. All state e-file returns cost. Check with your state. Some offer free returns by going to the state website and filing there.

As far as I know, yes. When I filed the claim and I had to purchase another package with the second laptop that I bought when they sent a reimbursement check. For me, that was fine. A replacement laptop free of charge was worth it.

I was wondering the same thing so I called Intuit. As far as I understand I can purchase the online version of TurboTax Deluxe 2009 Federal w/free e-file for $29.95. I live in Oregon so the online state version is $36.95 and comes w/free e-file for state taxes. Total $66.90 Looking around the web(amazon) and at local store specials the boxed, off the shelf version, "TurboTax Deluxe Federal + State 2009 + efile" is around $50.00. What I learned on the call to Intuit is that in this version the state e-filing is an extra cost. I did see another post regarding this fee. So the off the shelf/boxed version ~$50.00 + $19.95 for state e-file capability comes out to be approximately the same cost(+$3.05) as doing it online with online state e-file being "free." Total $69.95. Hope this helps. Obviously if you don't need the state version or mail in your state taxes then the boxed version is cheaper.

I've been using QB2012 profor the past 5 months and while it is true that they charge too much for "enhanced payroll and other features," I found the service very helpful. I run payroll for 2 employees and the annual cost is over $300 bucks plus a $29 monthly fee. This is too much! But when it comes to Fed 941 and state's liabilities I don't have to worry and just process the liabilities via electronic filing. I also contacted their payroll customer service and they were very professional and helpful in answering my questions. I also posted a question on the Intuit blog and I got a response within a few hours. Every software company comes up with upgrades for their products and charges for them but I do agree that QB's upgrades are too expensive, specially after you have spent a considerable amount obtaining the software and paying for services. QB should care more a about its customers and provide upgrades and services at reasonable rates.

Careful. They only gave me 60 days, not the advertised 90 and you need to end the subscription if you do not want to be charged the $10/month after 60 days. Also I expect they will add taxes and fees on top of that without letting you know how much they are in advance. Thats what they do with other charges.

Five free federal e-files. Over five there is a cost. State e-files are charged for each e-file no matter how many. I think this is a very good value.

http://turbotax.intuit.com/best-tax-software/why-choose-turbotax/start-now-finish-faster.jsp With the CD/Download version (as opposed to the online version), you get up to 5 federal efiles included at no extra cost. State efiles are $19.95 extra per efile.

This response is for the actual software shipped to you and NOT the download which *might* work differently. ~~ In previous years, I have used the software to file my own taxes and then passed it to a friend who also used it for her own taxes, including using the efile. (I never registered the product with H&R Block and she even has a different address than me.) I have not finished my taxes for this year yet, but if the previous years are any indication, then it *should* work again the same way. I find no indication that they have limited the e-files so that only ONE user can use them, i.e., nothing on the box or in the material says that.

Yes, max number of returns you can file is 5 for both Fed and State, only if it is CD or Download version but not on-line version of Turbo Tax Deluxe Fed +E File +State. I don't use e-file for State. I print out State return and mail it by myself, since I don't have to pay extra. I always file more than one returns with Turbo Tax Deluxe. If on-line version, it is only for one return.

I have never tried to do this myself, but it is my understanding that you would not be hit with an additional charge. (I am assuming of course that this is two returns for the same state. You only get one state included. If you need to file a return for more than one state, you would be hit for $39.95 per additional state).

Beware the additional costs if other family members live in different states. One state download is included, but each additional costs about $45, plus $19.99 to e-file the state return.

It's basically an online thing. They did include a paper with instructions for how to register, but the real value comes in registering online.

TaxCut does offer state e-files, but you need to buy the correct version of the software, which costs a little more with state e-filing. Check the package material and then go to the "update" section, hunt around in the offered state updates until you find the correct one WITH e-filing. Also be aware that states get updated when they can be, not all at once, so AZ might not be available yet, when others are. Patience is a virtue. Dave S.

Yes - exactly what I do - you have 5 free federal filings (and some states by law require free efiling - e.g. NY)
