List of states with free state e-file directly on their website [thefinancebuff.com]
(requires transferring data from your tax software to the state website)
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.

TurboTax Advantage" auto renew, and TurboTax Deluxe. Same price. Can I turn off the auto renew and is the Advantage version the desktop version plus extras?
Deluxe 100% does everything. It has slightly less help for very specific items in the interview.
(note, you will have to transfer the numbers from your completed TT state forms or just do the whole thing on your state website if it has a useable interface).
It includes one state download - that means it will prepare a tax return for one state. If you want to e-file that state return you must pay (unless you live in a state that has mandated free e-file)

Intuit must be so proud that their advertising has been so successful.

How does a LLM Chatbot AI make the process substantially different? All the steps still need to occur such as provide access to your accounts and retrieve financial data, ask questions about your situation, ask you to review what it calculates. etc.
AI is great but not seeing how this substantially changes the game.
I'll keep using the download version until they don't offer it anymore and at that point I'll have to make some hard decisions, doing my return online doesn't sit well with me.
Picked up info to: Only need Deluxe // Use Fidelity Discount and link/process shown in thread // Use Chase CC discount.
Net Price $ 35.45
Thanks to all!!
Specific example. The TT forums are full of questions why the educational credits forms are not populated correctly since you enter the answers to the interview. Then you look at the form and it is wrong. You dont actually see the entry in the form when you type the answer, you need to bring up the form and it is wrong. In HRB, when you type the answer, you see the entry in the form change. Turns out that in TT the entry doesnt change the form unless you go thru the entire section interview completely.
