I want to know it says it only comes with 1 state but one of us would pay extra for the state?

No, there's no allowance for 2 usernames. When you purchase the download, you can file up to 5 federal returns for free under one user but that can be different people using the program. You can download one free state program. That one program can be used as many times as you want. There's a charge of $19.99 to e-file each state return but they can be printed and mailed for free.

In the "desktop" world there's no concept, really, of "user names."
You can prepare an unlimited number of income tax returns using the desktop products, (you can only e-file 5 of them however), so the way the various income tax returns are distinguished is by the taxpayer(s) name you enter. Those names become part of the file's name. You could be sitting in front of your computer and complete your income tax and close the program. Then your daughter could sit down to the computer, click on the TT icon, and start her income tax return, using her name as the taxpayer, save the return and close the program. Then your son could do the same.
No one "signs in" as a user, they simply start the program.
One state typically does come free with the desktop product but if somebody, your son say, needs a to file in a different state, then that second state program would have to be purchased.
