TurboTax Home & Business Desktop versus Online

I have traditionally used the TT desktop version to file my personal taxes along with a small business ownership. This year I think I might need to add expert assist. I am not finding any information on pricing for the desktop 2025 version, nor if it can be combined with Expert Assist.

 

Can someone fill me in?

 

Thanks, - Jim -

You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.

If you decide to use online for a business for which you need to prepare a Schedule C, you will need online Premium.  There is an "expert assist" version of Premium and also a Full Service version of Premium.

I have the Home & Business Desktop program.  There is a button to add Live help.  I don't know what that is.  It is $60.

If using desktop TurboTax, here's a FAQ with info on the Live Tax Advice feature that @ VolvoGirl shows in her image above.

After you pay the $60 for that feature:

  • To get started with an expert, select Connect with an expert and you'll be able to request a phone call.

  • When an expert calls you back at the assigned time, you can ask unlimited questions and get help with this tax return.
