There is a lot of confusion about this. For the Desktop versions Deluxe and above, it's a free download of one state preparation PROGRAM, not returns filed. You can prepare unlimited federal and unlimited state returns. Some people need to file in more than one state so they have to buy another state program at $45. You can print and mail the state for free or each state return (including the first one) is 20 until March, then goes to 25.
Box says Federal Returns & Federal E-File plus State returns. It does not say state efiling is included. It also says on the back on my CD case in the chart comparing the versions - 1 state product via download (print free or efile for $19.99 each) prices subject to change without notice.
