We cannot see what tax software you are using. We do not know if you are using online or desktop. If you are using the CD/download----did you purchase Basic---which does not include state software? Or did you purchase Deluxe from a retailer who can be selling Deluxe with or without state?
If you are using online, the only time state is not an "extra" is if you are able to use the Free Edition. With all paid versions of the online software, you pay extra to prepare a state return.
