Ooh, I'm in one of those states. I'll use this out of principle even though I don't have too many issues with FreeTaxUSA

I used FreeTaxUSA last year and after I entered all the info and had everything finished they said "cool we'll file federally for free but if you want us to file your state tax then it's gonna cost you like $30" and I gave in

The article is only talking about federal as well. The IRS doesn't do anything with state taxes, so that'll probably still cost money unless your state makes their own free solution.
