I just spent an hour on the phone with Turbo Tax. I assure you, I know what I'm talking about. When you purchase the software from some retailers they will give you one FREE state e-file. Ive been using TT for decades for my taxes as well as several family members and friends. If you purchase the program for federal and state you can file FIVE returns with it but only the federal is free to file UNLESS you buy the promo version with ONE free state e-file. Which I did. And guess what? I just filed my state for free. Now the other four I will file with that software I will have to pay $25 for but that ONE was free. (I am in California, always have been, never filed with any other state)
