You may find that you can buy the proper TurboTax on sale somewhere that would be cheaper to use than the online DeLuxe or Premier versions.

Amazon or Quicken's sites should offer a table of 'what tax forms you have' and 'which TurboTax you should use.' I agree with others that for tax returns more complicated than having just a W-2 and maybe a 1099-INT, you probably would be told to pay for DeLuxe or Premier online to complete and file the return. Not having tried the online version, I can't state how it compares to the computer-based one but will assume that it must be comparable. I had used the DeLuxe version for many years but now find that the Premier version is easier for me since I have investments with Vanguard with capital gains, etc.

I've avoided the online TurboTax but have used the PC version for many years. This is a good topic and I too look forward to others opinion on the subject. For example my wife's father passed in 2018, a lot of tax related things came up as a result, guidance was needed, and offered for free. I do wonder about the secureness of the online services, even though my guy submits ours electronically when he's done.Īnother reason I hesitate, again, goes to personal service, is if I have a tax related question I can always call him so I'm not making the wrong decision about tax related things during the course of the year. I'll still let my 'guy' do them to be sure this year, but, if it does become incredibly simple I might again consider trying an online one. However I believe this years return (2018) the standard had gotten higher than our deductions would give us. My wife and I itemize our deductions because they amount to more than the standard deduction would. I've thought about trying an online service but was afraid I'd miss something. I like the personal service, catching up each year, etc.


Like you, I've used a tax guy for years, probably 20+, so long in fact his son in law took over a couple years ago, small private guy, not one of the big companies.
