Assist vs Premiere

Multi year user of TT Premiere. Started Assist for 2024.  How do I get out of startup and sign up for TT Premiere? Will use 'expert' for two special issues when I get to that point.

 

Received notice of Case #1527429286. Didn't know I asked, and don't see a response?

 

Thanks

You might be confusing the names of the software versions.    When you use online TurboTax you can choose Deluxe or Premium -- or the "Live" versions of those.

 

With desktop download software, you can choose Deluxe or Premier -- or Home and Business.

 

Premium and Premier have very similar names---be careful.  Do you plan to use online or desktop?

 

If you intend to use the desktop download Premier, there is an offer to pay $60 for expert help

Thanks for your reply. Yes, think I'm in the wrong product.  Since I have started online, can I download desktop and online entries go away, or must I 'cancel'?

 

Will need tax advice in just one section. I can go to 'tax advice' when I get to that section?

 

Thanks again!
