Question

Hi all, I bought TurboTax Premier from Costco, and now am trying to decide if I should just use the Turbo online version? Is one more cost effective than the other?

And in the Desktop program you can use a lower version. All the Desktop programs have the same forms. You just get more help and guidance in the higher versions. So you could have just bought Deluxe.

In the Online versions you have to upgrade to enter certain kinds of income. Like you need Premier for Investments and Rentals and the Self Employed version for Schedule C self employment income.
