State Tax Refund

Atlanta Girl — Wed, 26 Mar 2025 14:52:56 GMT

I have Deluxe version with one free state tax filing. I am using for 2 different returns. Why can't I see the amount of the state refund before I decide to use my 1 free filing? Last year I was able to see both returns refunds before filing. The cost has gone up to $45 since last year and I would like to see which tax return would be better to use the free filing for before paying.

Using the TurboTax desktop editions, there is not a free state tax e-file. You receive one free state program download with no reference to e-filing.

The charge to e-file a state tax return is currently $25 for each state return e-filed. This charge can be avoided by printing and mailing the state tax return.

See this TurboTax website for the desktop editions. Note under the Deluxe, Premier and Home & Business editions the following statement - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download/

Includes 5 federal e-files
Includes 1 state download
State e-file sold separately
