Do you have a farm business, and are you wanting to file a Schedule F for farm income and expenses (Profit or Loss from Farming?)   You appear to be using Self-Employed Edition, at least that is what is displayed by your screen name above.  If you want to prepare the return online, then Self-Employed Edition is the only online edition that can prepare Schedule F.   Self-Employed Edition is 119.99 for a Federal return, and 39.99 for a state return, if applicable.

You have more choices in the desktop software.  All of the desktop products (CD/download) can prepare Schedule F, but differ in the amount of help and guidance.   However, the desktop Basic Edition does not include a state return program and cannot import from ItsDeductible.

Desktop Deluxe comes in 2 versions--one that has a state program and one that is Federal-only.  If purchased directly from TurboTax, it is the combo version with both Federal and State.  If purchased elsewhere, one has to be careful as to which version you are buying, if you need a state return.

Desktop Premier and Home and Business Edition both include a state program.  

In the desktop editions, there is a 24.99 fee to efile the state return (except free for NY state).  There is no fee to print and mail the state returns.
