Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Be careful----the names are similar.
Premium is online software.
Premier is desktop download software.
What did you purchase? If you purchased the download, you have to download it, enter your license key at the very beginning and then use the program that is on your own hard drive. You do not "log in" and "log out" to use Premier from your own hard drive.
We see people get confused and they keep logging in to online software which will require them to pay at the end. You need to use the desktop software. One way to tell if you are using the right software---your tool bar. Online software has the toolbar in a black vertical column on the left side of the screen. Desktop software has the tools up on the top of your TT screen.
If you chose Premium, then Premium can prepare Schedule C.
How can I see my TurboTax fees?
If your TurboTax fees are higher than expected, you can reduce them by removing add-ons (BEFORE you e-file) :
- Remove Premium Services
- Remove MAX Defend & Restore
- Remove a state
- Remove PLUS Help & Support
- Remove Pay With Your Refund
