If you buy Turbotax Deluxe as a boxed copy in a store or as a download from a third-party vendor, it is available as "Federal+1 free state", or "Federal only" (because some states don't have a state income tax, so customers in those states may not want the state download). The price is only a few dollars different, and I tend to think that stores in states with income tax should not offer the federal only version because it can be confusing and misleading.
Unfortunately, if you accidentally bought the box with federal only, you need to pay to download the first state module. You can try calling customer support, I don't know if they will help you.
The Deluxe download direct from Turbotax is only available as Federal+1 state.
And, no matter what version you buy, there is always a charge if you need a second or third state.
