1) If you are using the "Online" software (Deluxe or higher), it never includes a free state.
2) If you are using the Desktop software, and buying Deluxe...you have to be particularly careful which Deluxe you buy.....because some Deluxe's (the cheapest ones) do not contain a free state, and are primarily meant for people in the few states that do not have an income tax. Premier and H&B always have a free state...and IF you buy directly form TTX, then Deluxe does too. Bur Deluxe, form Amazon, BBuy, Staples, COSTCO etc can have both sub-versions of Deluxe.
