Why won't you give me a price for Turbotax Premier without State Taxes before I buy from Intuit. I don't like surprises at the end.

1) "Desktop" /downloaded software....Premier always contains a free state software set, no matter where you buy it. (E-filing that state will be ~$20-$25)

2) Only Desktop Deluxe may be found without a state software set (but only at an authorized non-TTX website, like on Amazon)

3) "Online" Premium version (note the different name, subtle hey?) is priced for Federal only. If a State is added, that will add on $39 right now, but $64 later (not sure when "later" is. I seem to recall it is anyone who "Pays" for it after 28 February, but don't know what the switch date will be this year)

Here are links to the Desktop and Online versions. For the Desktop progam you can use any version. All the Desktop programs have the same forms. You do get more help in the higher versions. The Desktop program can do unlimited returns and efile 5 federal for free. You get 1 free state program download but then each state efile is $20 or $25 or you can print and mail state for free.

For Online versions you may have to upgrade to enter certain income. Online has separate fees for federal and state, so you can skip state. You don't have to pay until you efile or want to print. So the price may change until you pay.
