With Turbotax Online, if you qualify for free filing (simple return) the state is also free.  For every other online version, the state is an extra charge.

With the desktop program that you install on your own Mac or PC from a CD or download, it's a bit tricky.

•All Premier and Home & Business versions include one free state module.

•Deluxe bought directly from Intuit contains a free state module.

•Deluxe bought from other vendors (Amazon, Best Buy, Staples, Target, etc.) comes in both a Federal only and a Federal+Free State version (because some states don't have an individual income tax).  Make sure you get the version you need.

•Basic never includes a Free state as far as I can tell.

And in the Desktop program it is a free state program download to prepare unlimited state returns.  Then each state is 19.99 or 24.99 to efile.  Or you can print and mail state for free.
