It's not completely clear what you are referring to and what the "second time" means, or what the $119 for both means. So I'll talk about the fee structure in both Online TurboTax and in the desktop software, and if the info doesn't answer your question, then you'll need to explain in more detail.
The Premier Edition from Best Buy is a desktop product (CD/download) and is quite a bit different than Online TurboTax. I'll tell you what all it includes farther down in this posting.

Are you using Online Premier? That's what is displayed below your question above. So I'll assume that's what you are using. If so, here are typical fees in that online product:
With the desktop Premier (CD/download) purchased from Best Buy, other authorized retailers, or directly from TurboTax, you can prepare multiple Federal returns with up to 5 Federal efiles. Desktop Premier also includes a state program, with which one can prepare as many state returns as needed of that same state. There is a $20 fee to efile each state return (increases to $25 in March), except there is no state efile fee for New York state. There is no fee to print and mail the state returns.
The desktop version also has the benefit of Forms Mode, which allows for viewing of forms during return preparation, and even editing of some.

ADDENDUM
See the detailed info about the fee structures that I left you above.
It's not clear which version you actually wanted to use.
If you used Online TurboTax and haven't yet paid, if you wish to use the desktop version instead, we can tell you how to download your *.tax2020 data file from your online account and finish it in the desktop software without having to start over.
Also, all of the desktop editions can prepare the same forms. They differ mainly by the amount of help and guidance, as well as the following features:
The Basic Edition does not have a state program included, and it cannot import from ItsDeductible.
The Deluxe Edition comes in 2 versions--one that is a combo Federal and State version, and one that is Federal-only. If purchased directly from TurboTax, it is the combo Federal and State version. If purchasing Deluxe elsewhere, one has to be careful which version of Deluxe one is buying if one needs a state return.
