You are posting from desktop Deluxe, not Premier. Desktop Deluxe is sold both with and without state software, so you have to be mindful of which you are purchasing from a retailer. If you purchased the version that did not include state software, that is why you are now being charged for a state download. There will also be a fee to e-file a state return ($24.99) but you can avoid the state e-file fee by printing, signing, and mailing the state return.
Examine the packaging from the the software you bought at Best Buy and see if it says it includes a state program.
