you can find the federal alot of times for free but if you have a state tax than that is never free and in effect they charge you so much for the state it covers both.

Actually e-filing taxes in most states is free, as long as you meet the qualifications that the state requires, which would probably be age (old or young), or income, or active duty, or qualify for earned income credit, etc., etc.
I remember during the last tax season my state ran ads almost consistently about it being free to e-file.
You can also use Turbo Tax to e-file your free state taxes but Turbo Tax will not inform you of that option. You could Google your state about the free e-filing. There is probably some way to e-file it for free on Turbo Tax, you'd just have to look around for the correct page on their site, or, see if there is a link to Turbo Tax from your states site that discusses the free e-filing. Turbo Tax would know if it's free in your state and if you qualify, but like I said .. they won't come right out and let you know about it since they'd rather sucker you and have you pay for it.
The states that offer free e-filing ...
Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
Some states give you the ability to file directly with their department of revenue, including the states of California, Maine, Massachusetts, and Minnesota.
