well theres a sucker born every minute and i guess I was the sucker when I bought my Deluxe from Costco in FL.
the cover has Federal return and Federal efile so that is the issue
so i got ripped off paying what i did from Costco and not getting state which i could have got in another store with state for same price (instead of paying another $40 to get 1 state)
I saw the TurboTax deluxe and assumed it included state. nice trick Intuit and Costco. In effect i paid over $80 for something that should have cost $40 or less and had free state form.
I get it that Deluxe is related to tax return complexity and not what forms are included. i guess this is the first time ive seen it w/o state included. at least this offers a $10 credit for in-product add-ons which i will again assume would apply to a state return. time will tell.
now costco wont take it back (opened) and I will be very leery of Intuit products in future.
Thanks for all the help and glad this was resolved.
