I'll be looking to file business and personal both Federal and SC State. I am a Realtor and have an S Corp that that business goes through. I also have rental properties and some stock investments. I'm 68, reasonably smart and while I'm new to TT, I'm finding the website very difficult to navigate when it comes to figuring out what versions I'd need and how much they would cost. It almost seems like they're trying to obfuscate that information.
Can anyone tell me the options I'd have for doing this on my own? I'd like to reserve the option to pay more for tax help or perhaps a review/confirmation of my taxes. Is that possible?
Thanks for all help!
For your S corporation, you will need TurboTax Business and you can check out your options using the link below.
For your individual income tax return, you can prepare it completely on your own or you can choose LIVE assisted.

Thanks but that link takes me to filing taxes with assistance. I might need that but I'd first like to at least try to do it on my own. To be honest, if it's $489 for just business federal, then additional for business state, then additional for personal federal and state, I'd probably just hire someone local. Isn't there a way to do all of those myself?

Yes, and you will generally get a much better deal if you buy the program from Amazon.
The price is $180 from TurboTax with a state return an additional price - https://turbotax.intuit.com/small-business-taxes/cd-download/
@localhero Yes you can do it yourself.
You can buy the stand alone do it yourself Business CD/Download program for Windows here (it is not available to do online or for Mac). There are 2 ways to buy it. If you want a CD you need to pick the Advantage Plan in the left box.

There is also a Business service, LIVE Assisted or LIVE Full Service Business which is separate from the Desktop installed Business program. You can see them here,

Thanks for the link! This looks like what I'm looking for for the business Federal. And this looks like what I'd need for the personal Fed and State right?:

Would I still need another program for the S Corp State?
You are correct, @localhero, and you would purchase the S corporation state from within the TurboTax Business program.

Any idea of what that would cost? The state is SC
