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.
Community Reviews
TurboTax Deluxe desktop is the main value pick here for people who want guided tax prep with brokerage imports, stock sales, and even many rental or self employment returns without paying for Premier. The desktop version is praised for handling multiple federal returns, keeping data local, and offering clearer interview style guidance than online. The biggest catch is Windows 11 support, since Windows 10 is no longer compatible. State e file still costs extra, and some complex K 1 or business cases may still need more hand holding.

I went as far as checkout and still no gift card or other credit. Costco price is good until Feb 8. Amazon doesn't state a deadline.

Use the link to get the Amazon deal. Sneaky marketing.

There is no workaround to running TT on a Windows 10 PC*
ETA * If you want to get technical, you can install VMWare Workstation on a Windows 10 PC and then install and run a Windows 11 guest OS in a virtual machine there. VMWare Workstation is free now and getting Windows 11 installed and activated is easy. At that point you are still running Turbotax on a Windows 11 (virtual) PC - the host operating system just happens to be Windows 10.
