If you chose to pay any fees out of your Federal refund, there is an additional 39.99 service fee. In either case, if you pay that fee upfront with credit/debit card, there is no refund processing service fee.

Or did you buy the Deluxe at Costco that is the combo version and has a state program included, and then bought a second state program for a different state? If that's your situation, then it's the second state program that is 39.99. (When needing a state program, it's cheaper to buy the Deluxe combo version which already includes the first state program.) So if it is the version without one, the first state program would be 39.99. It should say on the box and CD (if applicable) whether it includes state returns or not. Which one did you buy? Did you buy the Deluxe Federal-only version that does not have a state program at all and then bought a state program (South Carolina) for 39.99 to add to it? If you paid 29.99 at Costco for Deluxe that suggests your Deluxe did not come with a state program, but obviously we can't see which one you bought.

Is South Carolina the only state for which you are preparing a return, or are you preparing returns for 2 different states?ĭeluxe Edition comes in 2 versions-one that is Federal-only and one that is a combo Fed and State. I don't fully understand what you meant there, since you only mentioned one state in that comment-South Carolina-but mentioned it twice. I added a state (SC) and had to pay that extra 39.99 which makes sense but not having to pay the costco one, south carolina, and other 39.99.
