What version of TurboTax do I need to report foreign income?

So I'm from the US living in Canada. Looking seems like I need the deluxe version but not sure if the basic one would work. I'm hoping the basic one would be enough as it's far cheaper. I just want to make sure before I go spending money on the wrong version.

You will need the Deluxe  if you use online TurboTax  or you can use ANY  version of desktop software that you download/install from a CD...  Basic if you don't need a state return and Deluxe or better if you do.  

 

Now if you wait until the IRS FREE FILE opens in mid to late January and your income is below the max allowed ( last year it was $72K ) then you can file for free ...    https://www.irs.gov/filing/free-file-do-your-federal-taxes-for-free

CD/DOWNLOAD (This requires a full PC or Mac—-cannot be used on a mobile device)

You can also purchase the CD/download from various retailers such as Costco, Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Staples, Sam’s Club, etc. etc. etc.

 

This link Where can I obtain authentic TurboTax software? has a list of authorized TurboTax resellers.

 

When you use desktop software, there is an additional fee to e-file a state return.  You can avoid that fee if you print, sign and mail the state return.  The state e-file fee is $19.99 and increases in March.

thank you basic for 2021 is just what I needed. Got to do 2020 and 2019 too but can only get deluxe for those years oh well. I guess they did not have basic on those years.
