Deluxe Desktop does stock transaction downloads you do not need premier desktop. Deluxe ONLINE version doesnt handle stocks and you need Premier ONLINE for stock transactions. Intuit does this on purpose to confuse people.

You might also have 6x cashback from your Amex card, if you are targeted: https://offer.love/?search=amazon.com

Your comment cannot be blank.

Because H&R Block and Intuit work very hard to make sure the government isn't allowed to do so.
why can't the government just tell me how much i need to pay? wtf
Yup! One word: lobbying.

Gotta love our corrupt system, causing people to spend millions of extra dollars and God knows how many man-hours filing tax returns that really have no reason to exist in this day and age.

Because they do not know people's individual situations. Your Sch C income or deductions, money spent on childcare or gambling winning and losses, donations, etc.

What most people are asking for is the government to guess based on incomplete information which would need to be updated and corrected for a vast majority of people. Therefore, the taxpayer doesnt save that much time as they would still need to review every input that was complete and accurate.

What would actually end up happening is the government would end up sending out estimates and two things would happen. 1) Many people that do not want to spend the time with a program like TurboTax or the free ones would be ignorant of the deductions they should be receiving so they end up paying too much, or 2) many immigrants would overpay as because they would be too fearful challenging a government entity estimates.

I am a CPA in California and work with a lot of low-income earners and having the government assume what a person should pay would be a disaster.

I can also confirm from personal experience that you the Deluxe version of the desktop software handles investment transactions and downloads form most all brokerages. I also know from past experience that the web version of TurboTax is different in that if you have stock transactions, there you need to use the Premier version. It's confusing and inconsistent.

Does the deluxe handle rental property depreciations from property improvements the same as premier? I always thought I needed the premier

Premier only gives you extra guidance. When I used Premier, I never found that guidance helpful, and I'm not sure if they've improved it. I think they have a prompt in Deluxe for you to upgrade to Premier to take advantage of the extra guidance, but you don't need to do that.

There we go… this is not Reddit. It's the same comments verbatim every year. You bitching on SD isn't going to change anything.

Thank you for all the good info! I used premium last year, if I change to deluxe this year, is it easy to import last year's files etc? Thanks!

Any reason there isn't a Deluxe Federal only CD? Last year, they had this CD type and prior year threads recommended that keeping a physical CD was wise in case you lost and can no longer access the .exe file for re-installs for audits and such (Intuit downloader links don't stay active forever). If you live in a free e-file state, you just want a Federal only CD.

It's either Federal only download or Federal + State CD on Amazon and other retailers.

Just FYI, you can do rental income via the Deluxe version as well. Premier doesn't give you much more to help in that regard.

When I had a rental, I used Premier. I thought it handled the depreciation calculations whereas Deluxe did not. Am I wrong?

This is an Amazon download link, not Intuit. I've gone in and downloaded prior years no problem, which is why I've almost always ordered from AMZN

Thank you for working with the low income and immigrant population!

Agree-for the "average" taxpayer, it would be nice to have a "here's what you owe" sheet.

I recently heard the best reason for why "government is a mess." Unlike a business, the government must serve 100% of the market. They cannot choose their customers or market segment, and need to serve EVERYONE'S special cases.

I've done my taxes by paper, had a few mistakes by accident, and the IRS just sent a letter saying they fixed it. Honestly, paper is not very hard.

Will the deluxe desktop version handle self employment expenses? I know the online one doesn't. I have a W2 from my main job and a 1099 side hustle. This is my first time ever doing 1099 on TurboTax, and I have alot of work related expenses that I want to deduct to my self employment income. Thanks in advance!

It is that time of the year to buy TT from Amazon. Bought the download version.

I have been buying these TT deluxe + AGC bundles for many years now. Supports retrieving transaction data from many brokerages automatically saving considerable time.

Is TurboTax significantly better than other tax preparation software? How is it different than something like FreeTaxUSA (which is free for federal and $14.99 per state)?
