Help to choose the right Turbotax product

[Blank_Slate]

I would greatly appreciate some help to select which product of turbotax is suited for my situation.

We are a family of two adults and two dependent children (aged 7 and 9). Only one of the adults has a job in the US.

We relocated to the US from India in 2023 March.

We had income in India in 2023:

• salary from Jan and Feb, before arriving in the US,  - about $10000
• rental income from real estate – about $4000
• capital gains from stocks and mutual funds – about $30000

We have assets in the form of

• stocks, bank accounts, retirement plans and insurances  - about $200000

We have paid the tax in India for all our income.

We filed for an extension of our 2023 US tax filing since we wanted to file it after completing the Indian 2023-24 financial year tax filing.

Now we are ready to file our US returns. My first question is – which turbotax product is most suitable for me?

Thank you in advance!

First of all, you could always use any desktop (installed on a computer) version of TurboTax; each one contains all of the tax forms.

However, disregarding everything else, if you want to use an online version of TurboTax, you will have to use TurboTax Premium since you have rental income and need Schedule E.

You didn't say whether you are U.S. citizens. If you are not citizens, it's not clear whether you were resident aliens or nonresident aliens for 2023. If you were nonresident aliens you cannot use TurboTax at all. A nonresident alien has to file Form 1040-NR, which is not supported in any TurboTax product.

I will ask @pk to try to clarify your situation. He may first ask you for some additional information.

Good point, missed that, thanks for bringing it up!

I am here on H1-B, my spouse and kids are here on H4. We are resident aliens for tax-purposes (I arrived in the US on Dec12, 2022 while the rest of the family arrived on March 12, 2023, and all of us have been residing in the US throughout thereafter).
