No, you do not need to use TurboTax Live Premier unless you are looking to receive assistance with your return from a tax expert. The non-live version of TurboTax Premier covers investments as well. To downgrade from TurboTax Live Premier to TurboTax Premier, please see this FAQ: Can I downgrade to a lower-priced version of TurboTax Online?

You should visit IRS website to find truly free federal filing.

Some include state returns; that can be important.

Meanwhile you can find that via Google as well.
