"Buying software I was convinced that one state is free?"
Actually, there has always been a separate charge for TurboTax Business State (link below), which is purchased and downloaded from within the TurboTax Business program itself.
A few of the TurboTax CD/download personal tax products are bundled with one free state, but not TurboTax Business.
