When you purchase the software from TurboTax, it includes a state program download as part of the price. After you install the main program, you can download the state program. You may have to start a fake return first, just to download the state program. See these steps:
When installing the software, you must use Administrator privilege.
Disconnect from the Internet first, so you can safely temporarily disable your antivirus and firewall software programs.
Close any open programs.
Once installed, be sure to re-enable the antivirus and firewall software programs before connecting back up to the Internet.
After installing, reboot (restart your computer).
Launch TurboTax, and run the program updater to check for any updates.
Then start a fake return to download the state program. To download the state program, click ONLINE at the top menubar, and in the dropdown menu choose "Download State."
Once the state program is installed, you can "Open" the downloaded *.tax2015 data file to work on your 2015 return.
