My TurboTax Premier 2024 comes with a free state download. I downloaded it and was done with my state return. However, when I went back into TurboTax, it started automatic updates. The update installation got stuck and failed. It came back with an Microsoft Error code 1603. I ended up re-installing the TurboTax Premier 2024. Now I got a different problem. It says I need to pay $45 to get a state program as if it does not know that I have already downloaded once - the free copy. My PDF copy of my tax return clearly shows my state return. The state program was in my earlier version of TurboTax Premier 2024. I cannot continue on until I pay. Why ? What happened to my free state program ?
