Stock Options and Futures trading

[dakota3496]

I am trying to figure out which version of the program I need to purchase and will it handle the below listed items:

1. I trade stock options and options on the futures market in a taxable account.  Which version of the program should I used will it handle the profits/losses form this type of specialized trading?

2. I have a small consulting business Partnership that I need to submit returns for and generate K-1's

Any help would be appreciated.

You would need the Business program to file for the Partnership.  This is a separate program from TurboTax for individual tax returns and needs to be purchased in addition to any version for individual returns.  Premier would be best for your personal program and could handle the k-1 entry in your personal return.
