Yes.  The TurboTax Basic desktop CD/Download edition supports all the filing status types and has all the same forms and schedules that are included with all the other desktop editions.

But TurboTax Basic does not include a state program. If you have to file a state tax return, you will save money by buying TurboTax Deluxe, which includes one state program, instead of buying TurboTax Basic and buying the state program separately.
