If the packaging the CD came in doesn't say something on it along the lines of "one free state included", then you pay for the purchase of the state program, and pay again to e-file the state program.
If the package does indicate one free state included, then you get to download and install one state return software package at no charge. But when you file that state, if you e-file you pay to e-file. But you can print, sign and mail the state return at no additional charge.
