You can apply Amazon digital credits to save even more (YMMV). However it only applies to the "normal" listing; NOT the GC offer.

TT strongly pushes Premier and Home & Business but the fact is that TT Deluxe can handle every situation that these more expensive versions can. The only exception that I am aware of is the ability to create W2 and 1099 forms for employees in H&B.
Deluxe has everything for all investment types, everything for owners of rental properties, everything for self-employed (1099-NEC/Schedule C filers), everything for those who do itemized deductions.
The higher versions offer more guidance but Deluxe has all the forms required and will still walk you through all of it.
Note that Turbotax Online is completely different, Deluxe Online is purposely limited forcing more complex returns to use the more expenisve Online versions than Deluxe.

"Yes, TurboTax Deluxe Desktop can handle Employee Stock Purchase Plans (ESPP) and Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) by allowing users to import 1099-B data from brokerages like Fidelity or E*Trade and adjust the cost basis. It handles these transactions through the "Investment and Savings" section, guiding users to adjust the basis for amounts previously taxed on W-2s. "

Thank goodness, they merged the threads!
It is very unlikely that you need Premier although Intuit marketing might lead you to believing it.
Unless you need the "extra help" that Premier offers most people would be fine saving their money and getting Deluxe. Same is true for Home & Business edition.
Deluxe handles all investment types
Deluxe handles self-employment income (1099's)

Turbotax deluxe absolutely walks you through an interview process for all the things I mentioned, you don't have to go into manual mode and sift through the forms yourself.
Premier offers extra help topics - things that you can easily research for yourself on the internet.
Have you actually tried Deluxe?
I've tried both (since I got Premier free from Fidelity but otherwise have always purchased Deluxe) so I know what I am talking about

Then you get some idiot who again parrots the false line that without Premier you have to fill out forms manually which is totally not true, Deluxe has the same complete interview process.
Its probably someone who probably regrets having bought Premier for years and doesn't want to admit that they have been wasting their money all this time, either that or they work for Intuit!
