That is referring to filing as many returns for the SAME state as you need to. If you use desktop software you can e-file up to five federal and you can e-file state returns with them if you choose to. You will pay $25 each time you e-file a state return. Any more than five federal returns have to be filed by mail---and if those federal returns are for a user who needs to file a state return their state also has to be mailed.
If you need a second state---a different state from the one you used originally----you have to pay for it. Period.
If you do not want to pay for the second state software program then explore your options on the state tax website. Maybe you can file it for free on the state's own site or at least get the paper forms and prepare them by hand.
