Was that an official Turbo Tax customer service support person? That website is not Turbo Tax. Doesn't sound right. Sounds like he was answering for the Online versions. Most people don't know there are differences between Online and Desktop. There is a difference between the Online web browser version of Turbo Tax and the Desktop CD/Download version. In the Online versions you need Premier to enter, import and fill out a 1099B. Online Deluxe will not even give you the 1099B screens to import it.
All the Desktop versions do have all the same forms. But you get more help in Premier to enter the 1099B. Here are all the Desktop programs. If you scroll down though the list below them under Premier it says.....

Here's Desktop Deluxe. Scroll down and see it has all the forms
