Also the Desktop programs Deluxe and above include a free state program download. But there are 2 versions of Deluxe, Deluxe with a free state and Deluxe without state for states without an income tax. What did your purchase or box say? You needed to buy the one that said...Federal+Efile+State.
Then you need to update the program frequently. Was any of your SS taxable on federal 1040 line 5b? If not there was nothing to deduct on the state return. Do you have other income? If you only get SS you do not have to file any returns.
