Unfortunately how they price it by forms required - gets expensive if you hit that one form that pushes you from Free to Deluxe or Deluxe to Premium and it doesn't matter if you have a 500 page 1099B or just a CD.
TT Desktop is a flat price for all forms in either of the versions, Desktop Premier just adds more help and tools but Desktop Deluxe has all forms. But you need Win 11 / Mac OS 14 or above to use the desktop version.
If this makes TT Online too expensive for your situation you might need to explore other options.
