Download TurboTax State (Windows)

Once your TurboTax state program becomes available, you can download it either from within your TurboTax CD/Download software or by going to our online store.

Through TurboTax CD/Download software

To get your State product from within the Deluxe, Premier, or Home & Business versions of TurboTax, follow these steps:

  1. Open TurboTax, and then start or continue your federal tax return.
  2. From the Online menu, choose Download State.
    • Click OK if prompted to save your tax return.
  3. Choose your state(s), and then click Continue at the bottom of the window.
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions to finish downloading and installing your state.
    • If TurboTax closes after installing your state, simply reopen it.
  5. After you've completed your federal tax return, click the State Taxes tab to start work on your state tax return. Don't start work on your state return before you have fully completed your federal return.

You can use the same process to purchase additional state programs. TurboTax connects to an Intuit website to confirm state product availability and price.

From our Online store

You can also purchase additional state programs by going directly to our online store:

  1. Add the state(s) to your cart and check out to complete the purchase. The state(s) will be added to the My Downloads area in your online account.
  2. Save the download to your desktop or another location on your computer. 
  3. Ensure that you have exited out of your TurboTax software, and then double-click the saved file to install your state(s).
  4. Reopen the TurboTax software. You should see the state on the State Taxes tab.
  5. After you've completed your federal tax return, click the State Taxes tab to start work on your state tax return. Don't start work on your state return before you have fully completed your federal return.

You can download your state program as often as needed, for up to 3 years from the date of purchase.
