Unfortunately, the TurboTax Free Edition or Absolute Zero version free state expired after March 15th, 2018 at 11:59 pm PST. You can see that here Absolute Zero (which includes a free state return) has ended as well. 

However, you may qualify for a free Federal and State return with TurboTax Freedom Edition: www.taxfreedom.com (click on see if you qualify to start).

How do I switch to TurboTax Freedom Edition (requires new account at the Freedom website)?
