For the last couple of years, when I do my returns, I do not get a FREE state filing. Why am I not getting one free filing?

    I bought the deluxe version where it states I have 1 state product included.  So why am I prompted to be charged when I am trying to file.  I have input the license code, so why am I still being charged for state when it is advertised I get 1 free state?  Please advise, this is delaying me filing my taxes.  Thank you.

    I am sorry, but if your follow this link TurboTax Products, click the 1 state download,

     

     

    and scroll through the information, you will see that there is a charge to electronically file your state return.  There is not charge to prepare it, print it out and mail it, you are charged for Electronically filing.
