Are multiple W2s from different employers in the same state added under 1 Federal and State return, or do I need to file multiple federal and state returns for each W2?

I have 4 different W2s from 4 different businesses, all in the State of Delaware. Do I file one return for Federal and one for State, or does each W2 require its own federal and state return with Turbo tax? Also, what is the State fee(s) for the numerous returns that I have, again all in the same state?

You only file one federal tax return and one state tax return, regardless of the number of form W-2's you have.  You enter each W-2 separately into the program.  Once you have completed one W-2 you will be asked if you have another W-2 to enter.

Using the desktop editions, you receive 5 free federal return e-files.  For the state income tax return there is an e-file charge of $19.99 for each state income tax return e-filed.  You can avoid the state e-file charge by printing and mailing the state tax return.

You have to enter the W-2 whether it has federal taxes withheld or not.
