How many state returns come with Premier?

TurboTax Online lets you prepare and file (electronically or on paper) up to five state returns per federal tax return.

If you need to prepare returns in six or more states, consider the TurboTax CD/Download software instead. Although the software only lets you e-file up to 3 states per federal return, you can prepare and paper-file as many states as you want.

Tip: When preparing returns in multiple states, it's best to do your nonresident and/or part-year resident state returns first, and your resident state last.

Let's point out that with online TurboTax there is a FEE for each state return you prepare when you are using the paid versions like Basic, Deluxe, Premier or Self-Employed.  They do not include the state program for free.

With desktop software, it can include the software for one specific state of your choosing, but there is an extra state e-file fee--which can be avoided if you print and mail the state instead of e-filing it.  And additional other state programs cost about $45.
