If I need to file 1 federal and 2 state returns in 2017, which Turbotax product is the least expensive to buy?

Can you file multiple state returns on Turbotax Online without paying a additional fee.

The TurboTax Deluxe desktop edition would suit your needs.  It comes with one free state program download included in the purchase price.  For the second state the current charge would be $39.99.  For the state program, click on Online at the top of the desktop program screen.  Click on Download State.

Go to this website to the 2017 desktop editions - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download/

Note that when using the desktop editions there is an e-file charge for the state tax returns ($19.99 to $24.99 depending on when the state return is e-filed)  This charge can be avoided by printing and mailing the state tax returns.
