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.
??? NM, SAW THE LINK IN FIRST POST!!
The Costco link image does not show it is a desktop edition.
Is the Costco version actually a desktop version or online version? ...I tried looking in the Costco app for warehouse availability, and it's available but there is no image shown.
But I haven't seen anyone post that it actually works or not since AMEX has their own affiliate link. Seriously no one has tried this yet?
