It doesn't say it will delete them. Where do you see that? And it is only 24.99 to efile state. Sounds like you might be accidentally in the Online version instead of the Desktop program installed on your computer. In the Online version State is $50. Was there a black menu bar down the left side or a blue menu bar across the top? And your post indicates it is from the Online Self Employed version.
Or do you have to file in more than 1 state? You get 1 free state PROGRAM download. But if you need a different state you have to buy it.
