All of the TurboTax editions, both desktop and online are only for one tax year.

It is for the tax year that is specified on the product only. TurboTax Deluxe 2024 is for the 2024 tax year only.

Why is there an extra fee for filing PA state taxes, and how do they come up with the total amount you earned for the year?

E-filing fee in desktop software

Did you purchase desktop software with state software included? They sell Deluxe both with and without state software--so you have to be careful which one you choose. And even if it does have the state software download included, that is for preparing the state. There is an extra $25 fee to e-file the state. You can avoid the state e-file fee if you print and mail the state instead of e-filing it.

".....how do they come up with the total amount you earned for the year? "

"They" come up with a total amount of income based on the information the user entered. All of your income has to be entered in the federal return--all W-2's, all 1099's, etc.-- and the information flows from the federal return to the state return. The software then uses your state's tax laws to tax the income that is taxable in PA.
