I have a W-2 and am also a real estate agent. Which Intuit program would I use to maximize my deductions for both personal and business?

You'll need TurboTax Home & Business if using the desktop software (CD/download).  It will give you the most guidance regarding deductions, including business expenses. I personally prefer the desktop platform, but it's up to you.  This link will take you to the spot where you can purchase this product.

You may also want to use the new online platform's TurboTax Self-Employed (online platform equivalent of the H&B desktop).  See this link:
