There is a lot of confusion about this. For the Desktop versions Deluxe and above, it's a free download of one state preparation PROGRAM, not returns filed. You can prepare unlimited federal and unlimited state returns. Some people need to file in more than one state so they have to buy another state program.
You can print and mail the state for free or each state return (including the first one) is 19.99 until March 1, then goes to 24.99. The early prices expire in March so try to file before then.
