Which 2016 TurboTax version? Deluxe or Home & Business (2014 debacle continues to confuse)

[Beagle98]

Can someone help me understand the fallout from the TurboTax debacle of 2014?  

So back in 2014, after 15 years of using this product, I installed the Deluxe version and learned it no longer supported the basic Schedule C with home office deductions that it use to.  It was horribly miscommunicated at the time, however Intuit ended up offering a reimbursement to upgrade to Home & Business that year.  2015 rolled around and I used the Home & Business, paying the extra cost difference from Deluxe which in prior years had handled everything I needed.

Now here we are in 2016.  It seems that Deluxe now supports what I need, but it isn't really clear in any of their product version comparison information that I can find.  It seems like they have rolled the features back into the Deluxe version, but I can't find any direct statements indicating that has actually happened.

How exactly do I figure out if I can "downgrade" to the Deluxe version this year?  I expect to file all the same schedules and forms as last year.

Both tax years, 2015 and 2016, each of the desktop CD/Download editions have all have the same forms, schedules and worksheets.  The guidance within the programs increase with each higher edition.

Go to this TurboTax website for the 2016 desktop CD/Download editions and scroll down the web page under any of the editions listed and click on View Forms - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download/

So same schedules/forms and "guidance level" I had in the Deluxe 2013 (pre-debacle) version is available in the Deluxe 2016?

Yes.
