Which turbo tax product to buy? Premium I think- I have a house and own a piece of vacant land (the main question is how to include this).. also bought/sold investments

[jaredmwall-gmail]

I have always used deluxe before and that has been all I have needed, but this year we purchased a lot to build on and have a loan on it, but we haven't started building yet so as for right now it is just an empty piece of land. I have also started to buy and sell investments in both my wife and my IRAs that we have started this year.  I could use some help in knowing which product I should be so that I don't over buy or under buy. Thank you all so much in advance.

The desktop version of premium should do just fine. Since the lot was not purchased as an investment, but for your personal use later as indicated by your stated intention to build on it, all you would have really, is the additional property taxes to claim, and "maybe" the mortgage interest on the loan used to purchase it.

Premiere  if you use online TurboTax  or you can use ANY  version of desktop software that you download/install from a CD...  Basic if you don't need a state return and Deluxe or better if you do.  

Now if you wait until the IRS FREE FILE opens in mid to late January and your income is below the max allowed ( last year it was $72K ) then you can file for free ...    https://www.irs.gov/filing/free-file-do-your-federal-taxes-for-free

You can also purchase the CD/download from various retailers such as Costco, Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Staples, Sam’s Club, etc. etc. etc.

This link Where can I obtain authentic TurboTax software? has a list of authorized TurboTax resellers.

When you use desktop software, there is an additional fee to e-file a state return.  You can avoid that fee if you print, sign and mail the state return.  The state e-file fee is $19.99 and increases in March.
