TurboTax will not start you at Deluxe if you previously used Deluxe. All are started for free. It would be best to login under the same username and email as was used in the past, however, for the Free Edition. Otherwise, go to IRS Free File delivered by TurboTax to check the eligibility requirements.
To compare products, particularly the Free Edition with Deluxe, follow these steps:
- Go to Personal Taxes TurboTax Online.
- Scroll to find the blue Learn more links under each package and click the one under Free.
- Scroll to find four tabs, FEATURES, REVIEWS, TAX FORMS and REQUIREMENTS and select TAX FORMS.
- scroll down through the list to compare all four levels of TurboTax Online to see whether Deluxe will still be needed this year.
