Question

Tax Year Prior to 2020: Multiple States

I worked in three states and need to file a state return in each state. I read there is a TurboTax State program for $44.99 that provides unlimited states. Is this true?

    No that is not true.  When you use online TurboTax you pay for each state program you use.

     

    If you purchase desktop software, you get the software for ONE specific state, and each additional state costs $44.99.  There is no "unlimited" state software deal.

    I'm in the same boat it looks like each additional State Program is $39.99.  TurboTax directs you to purchase online from Intuit and it downloads in to TurboTax.  It seems pretty steep for 1 state.  I got the whole TurboTax Deluxe w/ 1 State for $34.99....Oh well.

    There is no Turbo Tax program that allows for unlimited state filing.

    In TurboTax, follow these directions. 

    • Down the left side the screen, click on State.
    • In the center of the screen, click on Your State Returns.
    • Under Status of your state returns, click Add another state.
    • Choose the state that is needed.

    There may be an additional charge per state tax return prepared.
