Turbotax is saying i need to upgrade to premier at a cost of $79.99 when deluxe will do the job with sales of stocks and bonds; how to use deluxe on line

Sorry only the Desktop CD/Download Deluxe program has stock sales.  For the Online versions you need to upgrade to Premier.  Do you want to switch to the Desktop program?  I can tell you how without paying for Online.

 Desktop and online are completely separate and work different.  All the Desktop programs have the same forms. You just get more help and guidance in the higher versions.  In the Online versions you have to upgrade to enter certain items.

The TurboTax Deluxe online edition does not support Schedule D or Form 8949 to report stock sales.  Only the Premier or Self-Employed editions support stock sales.

Go to the following TurboTax Deluxe online edition website, scroll down and click on Tax Forms to see the forms and schedules supported by the Deluxe online edition - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/deluxe.jsp

The TurboTax Deluxe desktop CD/Download edition supports Schedule D and Form 8949, as do all the desktop CD/Download editions.

Here is Online Deluxe.  Click on Tax Forms if the comparison listing isn't shown.  There is a list of forms and a column for each version.  For investments you will need schedule D
