Assuming you are asking about the Desktop installed program.........
If you buy Deluxe directly from Turbo Tax it comes with a free state PROGRAM download. If you buy Deluxe in the stores or online it comes 2 ways, Deluxe with a state program and Deluxe without state. So pay attention and buy Deluxe with state.
Then you can prepare unlimited federal and unlimited state returns. You can print and mail the state for free or each state (including the first one) is 19.99 to efile (goes up to 24.99 in March).
Also On the Windows Desktop program you have to manually save. It doesn't automatically save although it should ask if you want to save when you start a new return or exit the program.
Also if your Child's name (or another return) is the same or similar to yours then it might overwrite your return. You have to save each return with different names so you can tell them apart. Like if your name is John and your son is also named John or even just the same initial, it will save them with the same name so the second one will overwrite the first return. Go to File-SaveAs and give it a unique name.
