Technically Desktop Deluxe and above include 1 free state PROGRAM download to prepare unlimited state returns in that state. Then each state is $20 to efile (goes up to $25 in March). Basic does not come with the state program. And if you buy Deluxe in the stores it comes 2 ways.....Deluxe with a State and Deluxe without state for states that don't have an income tax. So watch what you buy. It should say Federal + Efile + State.
All the Desktop programs have all the same forms. You do get more help in the higher versions. Oh, but Basic does not import from It's Deductible and maybe one other thing.
