State tax filing

When you purchase the Deluxe desktop edition from TurboTax you receive one free state program download included in the purchase price.

You can complete and file as many state tax returns as needed with the state program that was downloaded.

The desktop editions also come with 5 free federal tax return e-files.  A state tax return can be e-filed with each federal return so you could create and e-file 5 federal tax returns and include a e-filed state return with each federal return.

There is an e-file charge for any state returns e-filed.  Currently $20 for each return.  This price will increase to $25 on March 1.

The state e-file charge can be avoided by printing and mailing the state return.
