You can file federal and state using the Free Edition if you have a VERY simple return. If you need a paid version for the federal return you will also have to pay for the state return. Or....if you use the CD/download you can purchase versions of the CD/download that include state software.
However, if you use the CD/download, even if the software has the state program to prepare a state return, there is always--always---an extra fee to e-file the state. You can avoid the e-file fee if you print and mail the state.
