It sounds like you bought the Desktop program that you install on your computer and activate with the 16 digit License Code? Do you have the menus going across the top or down the left side in a black bar? If you were using the Online web version before you should notice the Desktop program is different and has more features. Were you able to transfer from 2023 Online into the Desktop program?
If you do have the Desktop program that comes with 1 state. What you get is 1 free state program download to prepare multiple state returns in that state. But each state return (including the first one) is $25 to efile or you can print and mail state for free. If you want the state efile fee deducted from your federal refund there is an Extra $40 Pay with Refund service charge which you can avoid by paying the fee upfront with a credit card. Go back through the FILE tab and pay with a credit card. You have to go SLOW and read each screen and watch what you click on to continue. There is one screen that can trip you up.
