Q: I'm in California. Does the basic version include the state efile.
A: No, the basic version does not include the state efile. It includes only five federal efiles. The deluxe + state version includes one state filing, but it's not an efile. It would prepare your state return, and you would have to print it out and mail it in. To efile your CA return, that would cost an additional $20.
Q: Does this include e-file for federal taxes?
A: Yes, you can file up to 5 free federal efiles with this purchase.
Q: Does it have a cd included?
A: Correct. You will not receive a CD with this purchase. It is a digital version which means you will be emailed download instructions and an activation code.
