Thus...if you have to prepare and file a state, the desktop Basic, plus the added State $$ ($40 + $45 =$85), will end up costing more than buying the desktop Deluxe which includes the state software ($70) ..(using current Amazon download prices).
But as noted, be careful to buy Deluxe that says Federal+State on the package.
If buying directly from the TurboTax store, and not from a 3rd party, TTX only sells the Deluxe Federal+State.
