No, TurboTax Basic helps you prepare your return. The link below shows everything that is offered in Basic.

https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download/basic.jsp

Whereas PLUS is 

  • 50% head start – Transfer last year's TurboTax info, such as your personal data, income, tax breaks, and AGI.
  • 24/7 online tax return access* – Avoid paying the $50 IRS fee to get a copy of your tax return for loan, mortgage, and student aid applications.
  • Specialist support* – Get one-on-one support from a TurboTax Specialist. Watch as they draw on your screen to guide you and help you file with confidence.
  • My DocsTM* – Store, access, and protect your important tax documents such as returns, W-2s, and 1098/1099 forms.
