“Is it cheaper?”
Probably. However, make sure that you buy from a legitimate brand-name retailer. In the past, there have been super discount website selling pirated copies with activation codes that don’t always work.
Next, make sure that you buy deluxe federal plus state edition. Some retailers sell a federal only version and you want to make sure you get the state included.
Lastly, even if you buy the federal plus state addition, you will be charged an extra $25 to e-file your state return. You can mail the state return for free if you prefer. This morning, I noticed that deluxe federal plus state was $45 on Amazon, so with the state e-filing fee, the total cost would be $70.
