Need recommendations on how best to file 2019 taxes

[Andy12]

Hello, I'm looking for some guidance in picking the correct TT version/filing correctly, knowing that I have complicated filing for 2019

1. My wife worked in DC, I worked in MD through all of 2019.

2. We both lived together (renting) in VA for 4 months and then purchased a home in DC and moved in for the rest of the year (8 months).

3.  We sold Simple IRA as well as stocks from a personal account to assist with the down payment.

Any suggestions to ensure I capture these nuances while still being able to claim credits for being a first time home owner would be appreciated!

Thanks.

You will need to file multiple(3) state returns this year (non-resident return for MD and part-year resident returns for VA and DC).  Any version of TurboTax will easily handle these state returns.  I will leave some links below that will make the process go much smoother.   

Multiple States—Figuring What's Owed When You Live and Work in More Than One State and also see When would I have to file returns in more than one state?

You will want to use the Premier version of TurboTax which will handle your stock and IRA sales as well as your new home purchase.  Congratulations to you both!  You can use either the TurboTax Download - Premier Edition or TurboTax Online - Premier.  You just have to decide whether or not you want to use the online version or the desktop version of TurboTax.  

What's the difference between TurboTax Online and the TurboTax CD/Download?
