The upgrade is within the Desktop program, and the extra fee for the upgrade is "supposed' to be just the added difference.
IF you do buy Deluxe in the future, and you need to file a State too, you should note that some desktop Deluxe's are sold without an added 1-free state software set included, so you have to be careful if buying from, a 3rd party (Amazon, BBuy, Staples etc.). But if you buy from the TTX store itself, TTX only sells desktop Deluxe with one state software set included.....and never buy from a strange fly-by-night source.
Desktop Premier and H&B only come with one free state software set....but note that e-filing the state, even with the one free state software set...that is an extra $20 or $25 at time of filing it (Except for NY...no extra charge). Printing and mail-filing the state is free for the cost of yoru own paper and postage...but only a few people nitpick that, as sometimes state mail-processing can take longer.
