I recently filed my taxes for 2025 using the desktop version of TurboTax Premier.  My license allowed for one free State download, and I used CA.

I then had to migrate everything over to a new computer, when my original computer started having problems and had to go in for warranty repair.  When I tried to download the software again on the new computer from my Intuit account online, it said that I had previously downloaded Colorado (not California), but I know that is not correct.  Now in order to proceed with using my software to file taxes for another family member (I have 5 Fed filings allowed), it is making me purchase the California State download for $40.  

I cannot find any way to contact TurboTax except a phone #, and I cannot get to a live person to help me.

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance
