State tax filing

When you do the other returns just do not go though the state tab.  Do not select a state to start.  You are starting new returns for each person right?  Go up to File-New.

Then for state fees.  It is the same every year.  In the Desktop program you get one free state PROGRAM download to prepare unlimited state returns. Then each state return (including the first one) is $20 to efile, usually goes up to $25 March 1. Or you can print and mail state for free.  

Then if you want to have the state efile fee deducted from your federal refund there is an Extra $40 Refund Processing Service charge (45 in California).  Which you can avoid by paying upfront with a credit card.  Watch what you click on!   There is one screen that can trip you up.
