I live in MD and like past years I bought Turbotax at Costco and downloaded federal and MD tax software to my computer. One state included for free. All good for myself.

My daughter who recently graduated college has lived in two states and has income from both. Delaware and Pensylvania. So, in order for dad to help her out I need to buy two more state programs from Turbotax. While I found the upgrade page for federal, I can't find where/how to buy two additional states. I would think Turbotax would want to make it easy to take more of my money. I think it's $30 per state? How do I download these added states? For clarity I am downloading all TurboTax software to my computer. No thank you to using the cloud.

Also while I am asking is there and discounts available for purchasing multiple states?

Thanks for any info you can offer.

To download states from TurboTax desktop:

Select Online from the menu bar (in the top right), then Download State.
In the pop-up window, select your state and then choose Next.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

I wouldn't be able to answer your question about discounts, but you can search TurboTax Support here.

Thanks - I will look at this when I get back to family tax prep work.

Melinda and VolvoGirl,

Thank you both for your replies. I was able to download the PA state return. So I have MD and PA set up now. Since my daughter only earned 225 for the year in Delaware we decided to ignore her Delaware return. No withholding for DE and if they want to come after her for the 225 dollars she earned while in DE as a college student they can go for it. My guess is her DE liability would be zero.

Have a great day.
