Multiple State Returns

Ryanc71 — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 05:28:31 GMT

I have five W-2's this year as I had withholding done in 5 states I worked in during 2022 (CA, CO, GA, OR, PA). Since I also get K-1s, I probably can't use the TT Basic.

What is the cheapest TT version I can use to file a federal return and 5 state returns?

You can use Basic. If you are using desktop software, all versions contain all forms. The level of guidance and instruction is more in the higher-end products, but the functionality to prepare and file 6 returns is the same in Basic as it is in Home & Biz. Shop TurboTax

I actually found this to be incorrect. I started filing using Basic, but was forced to upgrade to Premier once I indicated that I have K-1s to enter. So, I think the answer is that Premier is the minimum cost product I can use to file my taxes, and it appears I also need to pay the additional state fee for Premier for the 5 states where I have W-2 income.
