Upgrading TurboTax

Posted by James Hutchinson Mar 5, 2009

I personally use TurboTax and it’s a great product. Probably the most annoying feature is if you buy the Basic version, many of the screens prompt you buy an upgraded version, either the Deluxe, Premier or Home and Business.

Do you Need to Upgrade TurboTax?

I use the basic version, and unless you have some really, really complicated return, you probably don’t need to upgrade. There is some more help with deductions and extra guidance, but Basic has most of what anybody would need. You can always add the state version separately, but most states have simpler returns and internet filing.
