There's a link to it right from my online-banking website.

They used to charge for state, and they will charge if you have a complicated return, but it's never been more than $30 for me. They can even take the fee out of your return (though this adds a service fee.)

The advantage is I can usually zip through the paperwork in less than an hour, and I always got my refund direct deposited lickety-split, no printing or mailing anything (usually they can pull your W2 from a database as well.) I imagine the refund will take longer this year since I have to wait till Feb 15 for a form, and I'm sure they're behind due to the shutdown.
