Is the Deluxe the lowest cost option that I can choose if I am taking the standard deduction. I am using that to itemize but the standard deduction seems the best route.

If you are taking the standard deduction you may qualify to use TurboTax Free Edition (online software) or TurboTax Basic (CD/download software). Please view the details of both options below.
