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.

P.S. Multiple people report having used Amex and the Fidelity discount to order the software. It's not just Wolve3, and I haven't heard anyone with any issues getting the credit.
It would come to $35.98 vs. Amazon is $37.31 (after the $10 Amazon gift card) and both using NJ taxes.
I guess it's not enough to matter and I can always use the Amazon gift card. But, you are right that it is cheaper.
Thanks!

In general, TT online is more expensive, less powerful, and more susceptible to upsells. Which is why they want to move people from TT desktop to TT online.
Your statement is correct for TurboTax Deluxe Online Edition, which does not handle investments, rental properties, etc and prompts for an upgrade to premium if you try.
Two different products with extremely similar names but different abilities which cause confusion every year, and now causes AI responses to answer incorrect when the question is asked

And you're right, they will probably try to phase out the desktop version. Years ago, I used TT Premier Online and liked it before switching to the Deluxe download version.
