State tax filing

In the desktop software (CD/download), Home and Business includes 1 state program, which can prepare multiple state returns of that one state.

Each additional state program (different state) is 44.99.   See screen images below.

Also be aware that later when you efile, there is a 24.99 state efile fee (except for NY state) for each state return that is efiled.   There is no fee to print and mail the state returns.

If you saw something about 3 state returns, the desktop software limits the number of different states that can be efiled to 3 (see screen image 2 below).
