If I have more than one person I need to file AZ tax return for and one WI retun, what should I buy?

3 AZ returns will need to be filed and one person worked in both AZ and WI.

If you purchase the TurboTax Desktop, you will be able to file up to 5 returns.  You will have to purchase the states separately, so you would have to add Arizona and Wisconsin.

I found a spot on your website that says I can file 5 federal returns with Deluxe a up to 3 state returns per d

federal return.  this is different from the above answer.  Thee boxes at Costco say "federal and state".  But the box doesn't say how many state of if you can do 2 different state returns for one of the federals.  Very confusing!!  I have used TT for years and never had your answers be so confusing!!  You can call me at [phone number removed] and we can likely resolve this in a couple minutes.

In the Desktop program you get 1 free State Program Download, so you probably would use AZ as your free state for all AZ returns.  Then you would have to buy WI for $45.  THEN it is $25 to efile EACH state return including the first one.  Or you can print and mail state for free.  

 

You get 5 federal efiles for free,  if you have more you can print and mail the rest.   You can file 3 state returns for each federal return.  

 

Hope that helps.

No one can call you from the user forum.    When you purchase the desktop download software, it can include the software download for ONE specific state of your choosing.  You can prepare and e-file up to five federal returns along with the state returns that go with them for that specific state.   If you need an additional different state, you pay about $40 more for the second state download.    If you are e-filing for someone who moved, works in one state, lived in another state, etc. then you can e-file their federal return and both of their state returns together.    It says "3 states" because it is possible for some people to need another --third---different state download.
