Get your taxes done using TurboTax
NO. YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR BOTH IF YOU DO ONE
If you have a single item (an HSA contribution for example) that requires Deluxe for Federal then you will have to buy an upgrade it at some point during the process, most often in the final stages of review. If you do this for Federal you are forced to do it for State, even though you don't see the State cost posted... read on.
YOU'LL PAY FOR FEDERAL, THEN ADDITIONAL FOR STATE
The frustrating thing is the fact that you begin the process anticipating free federal and state OR $60 (2020 Tax year Filing) if you need to upgrade to Deluxe. But Deluxe is not $60, Deluxe Federal is $60 and Deluxe State is $50. You don't see the Deluxe State $50 until you have upgraded and are at checkout and the total is $110. It's built this way so by that point you'll just pay it because you're not (statistically speaking) going to go file State somewhere else.
BUT WHY DO IT THIS WAY?
It's an effective funnel that converts free users to $60 then to $110 but this comes with a cost. When I anticipate one thing for 2 or 3 hours of filing and then am surprised by a bill at the end it taints the experience. And after 13 years of using TurboTax and telling others how easy it is to use I'm now going to tell them, "go for it. It get's things done and is pretty easy BUT you'll be hit with surprises at checkout..." I'll also mention that a local CPA is about the same cost as those fees and she/he'll tell you the cost up front, not at the last step.
