I have a capital loss carryforward of $2,394. Any idea how much tax I'll save by upgrading from Deluxe to Premier? Is it worth the extra $90? Fee cover state return?

The difference between TurboTax Online Deluxe versus Premier is not $90. As of today, it's only $30. No, the fee does not cover the state return.

Thank you Helen C12,

In retrospect, my question deserved a "duh".

This was my first time using TurboTax, and after several hours of working to get the program to produce the correct responses, I was looking for some relief.  

The extra $800 the capital loss carry forward produced was just what I was looking for.

yes, Deluxe does everything Premium does your return won't change.
