Best Turbo Tax Package for HSA Contributions (post-tax)

Which is the best Turbo Tax package to purchase when you had post-tax (and pre-tax employer) contributions and two separate HSAs?  I had begun using the basic Turbo Tax program, but it recommended I upgrade to Deluxe because of my HSA.  Is it not possible to use the basic program to file if you have post-tax contributions to an HSA?  To clarify my situation, my employer deposits X amount of dollars to one HSA (which has limited investment options) and I deposit the remaining allowable amount to my own HSA (with better investment options).  So, some is pre-tax and some is post-tax.  Which would be the better program to use?  I do not feel like I need a ton of tax advice beyond this, so I'm trying to select the least expensive version possible.  Thank you!

Best Turbo Tax Package for HSA Contributions (post-tax)

When you are using the TurboTax desktop editions, the program will always recommend that you upgrade to a higher edition based on the type of tax data you are entering.  In your case it is the HSA.

 

This is only a recommendation, it is NOT a requirement.  If you feel comfortable using the Basic edition then there is no reason for you to upgrade to the Deluxe desktop edition.

 

All of the TurboTax desktop editions include the same forms, schedules and worksheets.  You get more help and guidance with the higher editions.
