If I purchase the Turbotax download I get 5 Federal E-Files + 1 State Download (State E-File Sold Separately). How much is it to purchase a second state download and E-file. We planned to file married seperately so just trying to figure best/most cost efficient way. Turbotax online vs desktop version
@ellis132 To buy a different state software set for the "Desktop" software, it is $40 right now. That price will increase to $45 sometime....usually ~ 1 March....but I haven't seen when they will increase the price.
E-filing any state (except NY) with the desktop is an extra $20-$25 beyond the purchase price, depending on when you e-file it. (BUT, one can choose to mail file any state for no extra charge. But you'd have to print and mail those in yourself....again...NY has limitations on mail-filing too, since e-filing NY is free and they really discourage paper-mail filing)

You noted that you plan to file MFS......if both of you are using the same state, you DO Not need to buy another state software set....you do that only if you have different states to e-file for.
