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.

Deluxe desktop lets you e-file 5 returns and create an unlimited number "what-if" returns for doing tax planning. If you sign-up for Premier online you only can do one return.
So yes, maybe for your specific situation Premier online is a better deal but overall Premier online is not an upgrade over Deluxe desktop.

Yes I agree, Amazon is scummy by doing this intentionally.
As others have pointed out, if you are willing to forego the $10 GC they have another version at the same sale price ($45) without the GC where you can apply digital credits to the purchase - so if you have a ton of credits it would make sense to go with that ASIN instead.

Or just use FreeTaxUSA honestly, so much cheaper and you aren't supporting a business that spends millions lobbying to keep taxes difficult and expensive so they can stay in business

If you work for a company, get a W2, and don't own anything, it is pointless to waste hundreds of dollars.
