Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Did you file your federal return but wait until later to prepare your state return or try to e-file the state return? If you only paid for e-filing your federal return, there is a separate fee for preparing the state, which must be paid before you can file the state return. You cannot use Free Edition to prepare the state unless you used Free Edition to prepare the federal return.
You might be able to prepare a state return for free if you go to your state's tax site to get the forms from the state.
